Why the Name Daniel’s Plate?
We chose the name Daniel’s Plate as a tribute to the biblical prophet Daniel, who honored God by choosing plant-based foods over the indulgent offerings of the king’s table. His commitment resulted in greater strength, wisdom, and clarity, things we believe you’ll experience when you eat plants and align your eating with your values.
What’s the Message Behind Our Tagline?
You’ll see the phrase "Nourish your body. Honor your faith. Live with purpose." throughout our site. It’s more than a tagline, it’s the heartbeat of our mission. We believe your health journey is spiritual. When you fuel your body with whole plant foods, you create space to step fully into your God-given assignment.
