    Low cholesterol diet recipes: Smashed Avocado on Wholegrain Rye

    While certain aspects of your cholesterol levels are genetic, there are certain foods that lower cholesterol and are considered more ‘heart healthy’. Here are some of the best foods to lower cholesterol:

    • foods rich in fibre, like wholegrains, legumes, beans, fruits and vegetables
    • omega 3 polyunsaturated fats found in foods like oily fish, chia seeds, nuts and flax seeds
    • foods containing monounsaturated fats, like olive oil, avocado and nuts

    Here’s one of our favourite low cholesterol diet recipes for you and the family to try, designed by our in-house nutritionist, Alex; proof that healthy doesn’t have to be tasteless!
