01 - 2 slices whole grain bread

03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's genuinely done in five minutes, no tricks, which means weekday mornings stop feeling chaotic.
  • One avocado does the heavy lifting nutritionally, so you actually feel satisfied and not hungry thirty minutes later.
  • The whole grain bread keeps things grounded and real, not some Instagram fantasy that tastes like cardboard.
02 -
  • The lemon juice is not optional—it's the difference between gorgeous green and sad brown avocado within minutes, and it's worth the small effort of squeezing.
  • A truly ripe avocado shouldn't require aggressive mashing; if you're wrestling with it, you picked one too early, and no amount of technique fixes that.
03 -
  • Buy avocados several days before you plan to use them and let them sit on your counter—ripe produce from the fridge is often disappointing, but a ripe avocado from room temperature is incredible.
  • If you're feeding more than two people, assemble each piece to order rather than all at once, because the moment of transition from warm toast to cold toppings matters more than you'd think.
