1 ripe avocado
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper

If you are planning meals for the week, this recipe is a great alternative to complex meal planning.
To keep avocados fresh longer, store them with onions or use them quickly, unlike some meal delivery companies that focus on pre-portioned items.
