I usually drink coffee and water-every day-lol! Sometimes juice-I know on no meat days-there is nothing said about not drinking juice or sodas-maybe I am wrong 😦
 
Water, juice and the Lords wisdom, strength and patience through intence prayers throughout the day.

I didn’t know you can drink fish 😛

I’m aware of what not to eat, just not what to drink.

Thanks 🙂

Can I suggestion you that you can drink juice and with that you do not sin.
Do you think of yourself that you are just a little arrogant person?

it is not meat, why would you think it is wrong to drink oj with a meal? the only thing allowed between meals for those who are bound by fasting is water and medicine
 
From EWTN (ewtn.com/faith/lent/fast.htm):🙂

Fasting …The fast is broken by eating between meals and by drinks which could be considered food (milk shakes, but not milk). Alcoholic beverages do not break the fast; however, they seem contrary to the spirit of doing penance.

I had only coffee for breakfast and I would think that juice would be ok. But I’m new to this so what do I know 🤷
 
Like you said, definitely not milkshakes. Though Lord knows I love Chick-fil-a shakes. :o
 
So, can we drink something besides water in between meals? Say, chai tea or a hot chocolate or soda? None of those are like food. I see why having a smoothie or protien shake would not be acceptable…

Do you have the source for that?

I remember milk being allowed, or any drink that is not like a meal. Milkshakes would break the fast.

I had green tea this morning. Not sure about the hot chocolate. I think that is acceptable because I remember having it on Ash Wednesday. Hold the whipped cream. 😉

Jeremy’s post #12 above from EWTN suggests that ordinary liquids do not break the fast even if drunk between meals.
The Eucharistic fast is not the same as the Lenten fast in every particular.
