14 Daniel Fast Breakfast Recipes To Fuel the Day (2024)

Cranberry-Orange Spiced Oatmeal

This warm, cinnamony oatmeal is made with no added sugars (just make sure your orange juice is 100 percent juice and your dried cranberries have no added sugar). The added ginger and turmeric provide numerous health benefits, including immune support.

Coconut Date Bars

Breakfast bars are so convenient for busy weekdays, but the store-bought kinds are often packed with added sugars. These healthy breakfast or snack bars are made with just five ingredients: slivered almonds, flaked coconut, dates, cashews, and a teaspoon of coconut oil. Reviewer SQUIDGIRLIE describes them as, "...a great substitute for expensive energy bars."

Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

Smoothie bowls give you a large surface area to pile on the toppings. Here, a blueberry-banana smoothie is topped with banana slices, sliced almonds, and shredded coconut (just make sure it's unsweetened coconut).

Overnight Chai Oatmeal

The warm and spicy flavors of chai make this oatmeal something you'll look forward to in the morning. The best part? Simply combine the ingredients the night before and refrigerate. When you wake up, you'll have a healthy and hearty breakfast waiting for you.

Vegan Tofu Scramble with Mushrooms

While you can't have eggs on the Daniel Fast (no animal products), you can have tofu! Here it's scrambled with a little onion, garlic, mushrooms, soy sauce, and parsley.

Raw Chia 'Porridge'

Chia seeds are ultra-absorbent and create a porridge-like consistency when combined with a banana, dates, almond milk, and cinnamon. Top it all off with fresh blueberries. For a softer porridge, let the mixture sit in the fridge overnight as recipe creator Raw_Angel suggests.

Green Smoothie Bowl

Take the opportunity to get your greens in first thing with this smoothie bowl. Fresh spinach (a whopping 3 cups), a banana, coconut milk, frozen mango, and coconut water combine to make a deceptively healthy smoothie. Top it all off with your choice of fresh fruits, granola, nuts, coconut flakes, chia seeds, etc.

Instant Pot Apple-Rosemary Steel-Cut Oats

This apple-cinnamon oatmeal has an unusual addition: rosemary! "The woodsy taste of rosemary goes so well with the autumn flavors of cinnamon and apple in this steel-cut oatmeal done in minutes!" says recipe creator Tammy Lynn. "Dried dates give it just enough sweetness, and I loved it with pecans on top."

Vegan Smoothie Bowl with Carrot and Banana

Loaded with good-for-you ingredients, this smoothie bowl will leave you feeling satisfied. Medjool dates (a seriously sweet, caramel-tasting date), frozen banana, carrots, unsweetened almond milk, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger make up the smoothie portion of this bowl. It's all topped off with flaked coconut and goji berries.

Indian Wheat Upma

If you prefer a more savory breakfast, you'll love this noodle bowl made with wheat vermicelli, peanuts, cashews, chile peppers, and a variety of seasonings and spices.

Smoothie Bowl with Mango and Coconut

Mango and coconut make for a tropical-inspired flavor combination. Nutrient-rich goji berries make an excellent topping for this bowl.

Daniel Fast Granola

This homemade granola is Daniel Fast-approved. For breakfast, eat it as cereal with a little almond milk (or any unsweetened plant-based milk of your choice), and top with fresh berries.

Steel Cut Oats with Blueberries and Lemon Zest

Fiber- and protein-rich steel cut oats are an excellent choice, especially when you jazz them up with coconut milk, chia seeds, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and fresh blueberries.

Green Power Mojito Smoothie

A smoothie that has the flavors of a mojito but still manages to sneak in some greens? Yes please! You'd never guess this tropical smoothie is packed full of spinach.
