Tips & swaps
  • Pair it with protein. Enjoy it alongside eggs or a handful of nuts for an even steadier breakfast.
  • Keep avocado green: store the leftover half with the pit in, wrapped tightly, and use it within a day.
  • Managing diabetes? Everyone responds differently. Check your blood sugar after trying a new recipe, and talk with your doctor or dietitian about what fits your plan.
