    Low cholesterol diet recipes: Vegan 3 Bean Chilli

    While certain aspects of your cholesterol levels are genetic, there are certain foods that lower cholesterol and are considered more ‘heart-healthy’, like:

    • 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 recipes designed by our in-house nutritionist, Alex, for you and the family to try; proof that a low cholesterol diet doesn’t have to be tasteless!
