As 2020 comes to a close, the world is desperate for hope. After months of dealing with the unique challenges of the COVID pandemic, fear is rampant. People are isolated, weary, lonely, and depressed. Perhaps you are, too. One truth we need to remember is that God is isn’t at all surprised by the events of the past year. While it may appear on the surface that the situation is getting worse, I believe what’s happening is a setup for something greater than we can imagine. A setup for miracles.
If you want to see God do the impossible in your life, join the 2021 Daniel Fast. The them for this year is “Miracles in the Making,” based upon Psalm 77:14: “You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.”
Decide now to commit to the Daniel Fast, and watch what God does in response to your commitment. As François Fénelon, former French archbishop and theologian, said, “Time spent in prayer is never wasted.” Join me and thousands of believers across the globe as we believe God for miracles in 2021.

Hello. What are your thoughts on items like Beyond Meat Burgers & other plant based meatless options? (obviously w/the caveat of no added sugar and other elements of the Fast)
Great question, Tim. See #7 under “Food” on my FAQs page.
Thank you! I should’ve known to check the FAQ page. 🙂
That’s OK!

Corn chips and potato chips that are air popped should be fine (provided all ingredients are Daniel Fast friendly).
Can I eat the plum apple sauce while on this fast, it has no added sugar.
If it doesn’t contain added sugar, then, yes.
Forgot if vinegar can be used
See #8 under “Food” on my FAQs page. 🙂
Tks
Is herbal tea ok?
Hi, Danielle! Some people may choose to include herbal tea. It’s really a matter of personal conscience and conviction. See #2 under “Beverages” on my FAQs page for more information.
Can i take flu medication during the fast,if not what can i take for nasal congestion and flu headache(above the eyes)
Yes, it’s fine to take medication.
Thank you! Stay bless💐
Hi Kristen
I was wondering if whole-grain pasta is considered an OK food? Or maybe even pasta from chickpeas or lentils? Also what about vegan ricotta or other kinds of vegan cheese?
Thanks so much
Courtney
Yes, Courtney, whole-grain pasta is fine, as well as pasta made from chickpeas, lentils, etc. As far as using store-bought vegan products, see #7 under “Food” on my FAQs page.
I am looking for the recipe for “Cinnamon Baked Apples” ,that is in the “Fall Harvest Oatmeal” recipe.
Hi, Becky! You need to click on the words “Cinnamon Baked Apples recipe” in the instructions. 🙂 But, if that doesn’t work for you, here’s the link: https://ultimatedanielfast.com/an-apple-a-day/. Have a great day!
I see there’s a fast starting 1/5/21 is this correct? How do I join?
Thanks
You can start the fast anytime, but the January 2021 Daniel Fast through my website started 1/3/21.
How about corn tortillas?
Yes, they’re fine to have.
Can we eat homemade fries and mashed potatoes? Also what about packaged Black bean burgers?
Yes, homemade fries are fine (just avoid deep-frying), as well as mashed potatoes (no butter or milk, though!). See #7 under “Food” on my FAQs page for the answer to packaged vegan foods.
I would like to order the PDF book. However, I do not see an option to enter my email address. Will it automatically send the PDF to the email address attached to my PayPal account?
Yes, it sure will.
Is it possible to do a 6am to 6pm (each day) fasting and praying, during which you eat or drink nothing and after breaking the fast for the day you can now eat fruits and drink water?
Great question. On the Daniel Fast, there isn’t a set schedule as to when you eat/don’t eat and pray. It’s completely up to you and how the Lord leads you to fast. See #14 under “Food” on my FAQs page.
Hello! I don’t have access to a juicer so I have been buying cold pressed juices from the store for my juice fast. Is that ok? I imagine pasteurized is not ok?
Yes, 100% juices are fine to use on the fast (pasteurized is acceptable, too).
Thank you for your help! Can we do anything like knitting, crafts etc. during the Daniel Fast? I know we aren’t supposed to do pleasure reading but I usually like to knit while I watch or listen to spiritual videos.
Absolutely!
You can make juice in your blender. There are several recipes on YOuTube.
It’s my first time doing the Daniel fast I’m looking forward to doing it
Great! Welcome!
What about store guacamole? And are baked Tostitos allowed.
Hi! Just check the ingredients in the store-bought guacamole to make sure everything is Daniel Fast friendly (no sugar or vinegar). Yes, Baked Tostitos are acceptable.
Oh wow! No vinegar? I thought vinegar was ok.
Some people may choose to include vinegar, and that’s fine. It’s really a matter of personal conviction and conscience. Everyone’s fast doesn’t have to look exactly the same to be effective.
Can we eat raisins
Yes, you can.
Does this start sun down today or this morning?
Whenever you want to start. There isn’t a set time. Many have already begun their fast.
I’d love to join the fast. It will be my first time
Wonderful! And welcome! 🙂
I’ll love to join the fast , its my first time
Wonderful! I’m so glad!
Hi thanks for such a wonderful platform looking forward to following along the 2021 fast .
Is coconut milk tinned one accepted on the fast?
Yes, as long it’s unsweetened.
I haven’t done the fast like before. God has been working in my life with the past year and a half being so painful. I am doing this to glorify him. Thank you Kristen
Wonderful, Gladys! I’m so glad. May the Lord bless you in big ways as you seek him in 2021!
I have sent my request on Facebook
Can I have crackers that are made with Cassava flour, tapioca starch and nut/seed flours?
Hi, Rebecca! Do you know if the crackers are baked? If so, they should be fine.
Just ordered your book mainly because of the Scriptures I’d like to use. I’ll be starting a 21-day prayer and fasting time with a Church and so my mind-set has been on what God would want me to do. So far, I’m believing that it’s a juice-fast at first with intermittent fasting. I’m 54 and this year has been an extremely unhealthy one, both physically and spiritually. I keep trying to return to the Lord, but am having a lot of difficulty! Hopefully, this will turn me around!
Good for you! Your commitment to the Lord, along with your desire to honor him, is such an encouragement. Thank you for sharing what the Lord is doing in your heart and life. I pray that this fast is a breakthrough one for you–that you sense the Lord’s nearness, that you’re overwhelmed with his great love for you, and that you’re filled with his power as you seek him!
Can you drink coffee
No. Sorry! Caffeinated products aren’t part of the Daniel Fast.
How about decaf?
Hi! See #1 and #2 under “Beverages” on my FAQs page. 🙂
Hi, we have a type 1 diabetic in the house. Is the Daniel Fast good for a diabetic? I’ve prayed and asked God what fast we can do in a healthy manner.
Hi, Carrie! That’s a really good question. See #1 under “Miscellaneous” on my FAQs page.
We have found a good way to fast. Thank you.
I knew you would! 🙂
Hi! I am from Uruguay. Can I join you on facebook group for the 21 days Daniel Fast? I need financial breakthrough.
Hi! Absolutely. Just request to become a member on the Ultimate Daniel Fast Facebook page, and you’ll be approved.
How do I sign up?
This year, there isn’t a sign-up, but you can join the Ultimate Daniel Fast Facebook page for support and encouragement.
Hi, my sister and I have severe gluten allergies. Can we use gluten free whole oats? Also is that steel cut or rolled oats?
Yes, you can use whole oats or steel-cut oats (both are whole grain). Good question!
God brought me here!!
Thank you Kristen!! Count me in! Submitted for my request to join the Facebook group. I am already looking forward to sharing my testimony.
Blessings
Natasha
I’m so glad the Lord led you to my website! 🙂
