Raw or Cooked?

Sweet potato

I am doing the Daniel Fast for ten days. I would like to know if there is anything that specifically says whether or not you can cook vegetables or if you have to eat them raw. Julia
Good question Julia. There are good reasons to eat your food raw, but that is not a requirement of the Daniel Fast. Read more about raw food in the Hallelujah Diet Books. You may cook your Daniel Fast foods, if you so desire.

Slow-Cooker Black Bean-Mushroom Chili Recipe

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.
