Slow-Cooker Black Bean-Mushroom Chili Recipe

Slow-Cooker Black Bean-Mushroom Chili Recipe - ACE Healthy Recipes - American Council on Exercise

Black beans, earthy mushrooms and tangy tomatillos combine with a variety of spices and smoky chipotles to create a fantastic full-flavored chili. It can simmer in the slow cooker all day, which makes it perfect for a healthy supper when the end of your day is rushed.

This is a good recipe, but there are a few ingredients to leave off, when doing the Daniel fast diet. Remember we avoid all animal products, which includes dairy items.

Thanks for your wise words

Thank you so much for your Godly wisdom. On Thurs. night, God spoke to me about doing a 24- day Daniel fast. I have fasted a few times before, but knew I needed more information to do this well. Reading through your info and question/answer section has answered a lot for me. I know that dairy needs to be out for me. I was eating butter, and need to stop that. I also ate white rice today because it was in the fridge, and after two days of mostly fruit with veggies, I needed something more solid. I am glad to know I can eat some of my homemade bread and potatoes. I will also be glad to add some light dressing, or oil and lemon to my salads.
Thank you again for your wise words.
Your sister in Christ, Debbie

Thank you for your kind words Debbie. We appreciate hearing from you.

What about whey?

What about products that have whey? I didn't know what whey was when I went shopping for food for the Daniel Fast. When I purchased the foods for my Fast I made sure that it had no egg or milk and sugars. But I have noticed some of them had whey in it. So I decided to look up what it is and it is that watery clear liquid that separates itself from Milk. You will find it in yogarts, cottage cheese and other milk products. So after researching I found out that it is plasma separated from the milk itself when it curddles. So now I don't know if this is allowed since so many products include this. Should I consider this an animal product since it comes from milk which does come from animals. If you have any information about this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and G-d Bless!
Jasmine

You are right, Jasmine. We are avoiding all animal products, and whey is an animal dairy product.
