Milk Substitutes

Water is the only beverage you can drink on the Daniel Fast, but it doesn't mean you can't still enjoy allowed foods in liquid form for cooking, baking, and meal replacement. Its very easy to make homemade milk, so I would suggest investing in a good blender. The most common milk substitutes include:

• Coconut milk
• Almond milk
• Soy milk
• Rice milk
• Cashew milk
