Most of the top cholesterol-lowering foods are plant-based, so vegan meals are great for a low cholesterol diet. There’s no need to go ‘full-vegan’ though, if you don’t want to give up meat or dairy foods. I often make vegetarian or vegan meals to get all the cholesterol-lowering benefits and just add some fish, chicken or turkey.

If you’re looking for good cholesterol-friendly vegan recipes, look for ones are low in saturated fat and contain at least one of these cholesterol-lowering foods:-

• Oats/oatmeal
• Beans, chickpeas & lentils
• Nuts & seeds
• Avocados
• Quinoa & barley
• Apples & berries
• Vegetables

These may sound like boring ingredients, but they can be turned into amazing cholesterol-friendly meals with loads of flavour.
