# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally five minutes making it perfect for those mornings when you need to eat but cannot deal with actual cooking
  • The combination of creamy avocado and crunchy whole grain bread keeps you full for hours without that heavy breakfast feeling
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that mashing avocado on your actual toast instead of in a bowl first results in avocado squishing through the bread holes and making a mess everywhere
  • Adding the lemon juice right when you mash makes a huge difference in preventing that unappetizing brown color from developing on your toast
03 -
  • Buy avocados at different stages of ripeness so you always have one that is ready to eat instead of waiting three days for rock hard ones to soften
  • The best trick for removing the pit is to whack your knife into it and twist rather than digging around with a spoon
