Getting enough fibre sounds easy, but in reality it can:
😕 Leave you unsure what foods to eat.
🥣 Make you feel like you have to change your whole routine.

📌 Save for: Dietitian-Approved Cholesterol-Friendly Recipes

🫀 Heart Health Month is the perfect time to show your heart a little extra love. These recipes feature foods that are known to help lower LDL cholesterol and support overall heart health — all while still being delicious and satisfying.

❗️ LDL cholesterol is often called the “bad” or “lousy” cholesterol because high levels can build up in your blood vessels, making it harder for blood to flow and increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

🙌 Foods like plant-based proteins, fatty fish, nuts, whole grains, eggs, vegetables and fruits play an important role in heart-healthy eating. They provide fibre, healthy fats and key nutrients that can help reduce cholesterol levels and support your cardiovascular system.

Here are a few tasty ways to include more heart-healthy foods in your diet:

✅ Zesty Fish Tacos

✅ Spinach Feta Salad with Walnuts

✅ Salmon Pate

✅ Banana Flax Oatmeal Muffins

These simple, nourishing recipes make it easier to eat well and care for your heart — one meal at a time.

Seared Salmon & Veggies for an easy weeknight dinner! 🧡

Here’s an anti inflammatory Heart Month meal idea! 🍽️

This recipe is so incredibly simple & soooo good! After all, getting your omega 3’s is easier with quick dinner options. 🙌

Here’s what I do:

🧡 Season both sides of the salmon with a little kosher salt & fresh ground pepper. Do this only a few minutes before cooking and dry the fillets with a paper towel first.

🧡 Heat olive oil on medium-high in a fry pan. Place salmon down gently to hear the sizzle! Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side before flipping. Do the same for the other side.

🧡 Set salmon aside and add veggies to fry pan with little seasoning. I also add unsalted sunflower seeds for crunch and often fresh herbs.

🧡 Serve your elegant salmon with veggies on top and enjoy!

Have you tried pan searing salmon?
