Shopping
Where to shop for groceries during the Daniel Fast:
- Whole Foods/ Henry’s Market: wide variety of organic produce and ingredients but some items such as grape seed oil and rice milk are a little overpriced. Whole Foods does have lots of ready-to-go foods that are really tasty such as tabouli, hummus, salads and grains, soups, stews, and more.

- Sprouts: similar to Whole Foods and a little expensive but they have a huge variety of wholegrain products like quinoa pasta and whole grain gnocchi, yum! It’s also a great place to buy fresh organic produce, grains, and spices. Try a little herbes de provence on your veggies and you’ll take your dish to a whole new dimension.
- Trader Joe’s: one of the cheapest places to buy items like organic soy, almond, or rice milk (I’m allergic to dairy so I know this for sure =)), vegetable stock, oils, and bread. They have some fairly priced organic vegetables that are not always fresh so Wholefoods or your local grocery store may be better choices for organic produce if you’re looking for more variety. Also, check out your local farmer’s market.
Check out these stores’ websites for recipes. Many general grocery stores like Vons now carry a lot of vegan items as such as soy chorizo. Costco now sells rice milk and soy milk in bulk so you can save a few cents.
