Low-Cholesterol Snack Options

Apples

Yes, an apple a day keeps the doctor away! This fruit is incredibly delicious. Apples are portable, which is why many people have them for a snack when they’re on the go. They're also an amazing option for lowering cholesterol. The biggest reason for this is apples contain a lot of fiber, especially in the skin. Apple slices with the skin on are delicious. Eating the apple whole is also a great and quick option!

The antioxidants in apples are also able to lower cholesterol. Apples are also high in prebiotics! Apples are delicious when eaten alone, though they are also good dipped in natural peanut butter. This addition of protein not only helps with sustained energy, but yet again, has cholesterol-lowering properties.

Natural Peanut Butter And Bananas

Peanut butter strikes again! Natural peanut butter is delicious and low in refined sugar. It contains lots of protein per serving, which provides sustained energy. Natural peanut butter is also full of healthy fats. Bananas add the fiber and round out the snack as a great way to eat and lower cholesterol at the same time!

The key here is choosing natural peanut butter rather than a variety that’s full of refined sugar. Not only does this help cholesterol, but less refined sugar prevents energy crashes and provides other health benefits. So there it is! Slice up some bananas and pack on the peanut butter!
