# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's ready in five minutes flat, no excuses about not having time for breakfast.
  • The combination of healthy fats and whole grains keeps you satisfied for hours without that mid-morning slump.
  • You can make it exactly how you want it, whether you're adding seeds or keeping it bare and elegant.
02 -
  • Cold toast with warm avocado is honestly a letdown, so timing the toast with the avocado preparation actually matters more than it sounds.
  • Ripe avocados are a window, not a season, so if yours is still hard, skip this recipe for today rather than forcing an underripe avocado into submission.
03 -
  • Keep a lemon in your fruit bowl specifically for this because bottled juice never delivers the same brightness and flavor.
  • Buy avocados slightly underripe so you have a few days' window to use them before they're past their prime, rather than fighting the clock with perfectly ripe ones.
