Cholesterol-lowering recipes with Benecol®

Eating well for your heart doesn’t have to mean compromising on flavour. In partnership with HEART UK, Benecol has created a collection of nourishing, everyday recipes designed to support healthy cholesterol levels as part of a balanced lifestyle.

Benecol products contain plant stanol ester, which works by partially blocking cholesterol absorption in the digestive system. With a daily intake of 1.5–3g, plant stanols have been shown to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in as little as 2–3 weeks, helping to reduce a key risk factor for coronary heart disease.

From warming red lentil dhal and vibrant salads to comforting bakes, smoothies and breakfasts, these recipes show how easy it is to include Benecol products in your meals. Used regularly — and ideally as part of a meal — Benecol can help maintain lower cholesterol levels long term, even alongside statin medication (always check with your healthcare professional).

Good food, real flavour, and simple steps towards better heart health — proof that cooking with care really can help you eat for life.
