# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes flat, which means you can actually eat something real before your day spirals.
  • The creaminess of a ripe avocado feels indulgent while being genuinely good for your body.
  • You control the texture, the toppings, everything—it's the opposite of a dictatorial recipe.
02 -
  • The pit removal matters more than you think—slide your knife into it at an angle, twist gently, and it comes out clean; forced pressure will bruise the flesh.
  • Lemon juice isn't just flavor; it's a preservative that keeps your avocado from turning that sad brown-grey color within minutes.
03 -
  • Buy avocados slightly early in the week and let them ripen on your counter—you'll never be caught with an unripe moment again.
  • Use a very sharp knife and let gravity do the work when slicing the avocado; pushing hard bruises the fruit inside.
