52 Breakfasts That Can Help To Lower Your Cholesterol

AliceLeave a comment

There are plenty of breakfast options for a cholesterol-lowering diet because a lot of traditional breakfast foods, like oats and high fibre cereals, naturally lower cholesterol.

Quick Breakfasts

If you’re after a quick cholesterol-lowering breakfast that you can prepare in minutes, then the best options are high fibre toast, oatcakes or ryvitas with simple toppings, or high fibre breakfast cereals.

Here are my favourite quick breakfasts that can help to lower cholesterol:-

  • ‘Alpen No Added Sugar’ with low fat natural yoghurt.
  • Baked beans on high fibre toast (see this post for options).
  • High fibre toast with avocado slices & a pinch of salt.
  • Nestle Shredded Wheat with flaked almonds & semi-skimmed milk.
  • Oatcakes with sugar free peanut butter & a pinch of salt.
  • Post Grape Nuts with blueberries & fat free berry soya yoghurt.
  • Seeded Ryvitas with smashed avocado & smoked salmon.
  • Rolled oats soaked overnight with semi-skimmed milk & grated apple.
  • Seeded high fibre toast with banana slices & sugar free almond butter.
  • Weetabix with sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey & semi-skimmed milk.

Note:- I use 100% peanut butter and almond butter with no added sugar or oil – see this post for examples.

Overnight Oat Recipes

Overnight oats are another great cholesterol-lowering breakfast option for busy mornings because you prepare them the night before. Oats are one of the top cholesterol-lowering foods, so eating them every day can be hugely beneficial for your heart health.

Porridge (Oatmeal) Recipes

Although porridge/oatmeal can be prepared quickly in the microwave (see instructions here), I personally think it tastes best when cooked in a saucepan.

Baked Oatmeal Recipes

Baked oatmeal is another great alternative breakfast for weekends and it can feed the whole family. Adding fruit, nuts and seeds to oatmeal makes it the perfect cholesterol-lowering breakfast, and you can eat any cold leftovers as a snack.
