If you’re looking for a pre-Tisha B’Av fast menu, then you are in luck! I’ve included three of my favorite, easy recipes that meet my pre-fast criteria.
1. I find the saltier your foods, the harder it is to fast due to thirst. Especially during the heat of summer! Limiting salt definitely makes it easier.
2. I’m always looking for filling foods. The combinations of protein, healthy fats and fiber will keep you feeling fuller, longer. This is ideal when preparing to fast.
3. Taste! Who wants to eat flavorless foods? These recipes are packed with flavor and nutrition – a winning combination.
4. End on a sweet note. Who can resist dessert?

A super simple recipe of fish and Brussels. If you can’t find Brussels sub with broccoli or cauliflower.
This meal is light and easy to make but the combo of protein, fat and carbs and the limit on salt will help you get through the fast.
I’ll take the salmon. Love the dressing, too.
Thanks for the contest.

Vegetable soup is always a quick meal in this house, and everybody loves it.

I am always thirsty on fast days, so I drink as much water as I can without getting sick. Great menu here.

This past fast we had several bowels of chicken soup with soup noodles. We both had easiest fast, and I was at the end of my 7th month of pregnancy, b”h!
Definitely going to leave soup on Platta until Shalosh Shudis and hope it works it’s magic again 🙂
