The Portfolio diet is a therapeutic vegetarian diet pattern developed by Canadian researcher David Jenkins in 2003 aiming to reduce blood cholesterol level. Several foods or food components, such as soluble fibre, soy protein, plant sterols, and nuts, have been found associated with cholesterol-lowering. Incorporating a portfolio of these foods in a diet have been found to have greater cholesterol-lowering effect.

Portfolio diet includes 50 grams of nuts, 2 grams of plant sterols, 10-25 grams of soluble fibre, and 50 grams soy protein.
