    16 Delicious Smoothies to Lower Your Cholesterol

    Decreasing your risk of heart disease is easier, and way more delicious than you think. Studies have found that increasing soluble fiber to 10g a day could significantly improve your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

    Plant-focused eating is naturally more heart-healthy than the Standard American Diet (it's called SAD for a reason, folks). With all the plants you're eating, it's easy to get your fill of nuts, seeds, grains, veggies, and fruits each day. After all, fiber is only found in plants.

    If you're curious about how soluble fiber can benefit your health and which foods you can find it in, head to the Soluble Fiber Benefits post and grab your soluble fiber food chart while you're there.

    Smoothies are an obvious choice for those of us who are short on time. Just toss the ingredients in the blender, and sip your way to a healthier heart. Enjoy any of these dietitian-approved smoothies each week to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables!

      I really love all the ingredients in your recipes and all of the nutritional information! I really enjoy smoothies however I need to be really careful with carbs,fat as I am needing to effectively reduce them. I also am dealing with Bladder cancer, fatty liver and high Cholesteral. I need to loose weight and bring all thing back into healthy levels. I am having good success with fasting ( 10-6 ) I am asking for your advice or direction
      I am now 70 and retired as of Last year. Is there a smoothie routine and ingredients to support my needs a little more. Thanks so much!
