How to keep an avocado fresh until lunch
Truth be told, everyone wants to know the secret to keeping avocados fresh until lunch! And while browning (oxidation) is a naturally occurring process, you can slow it down by:
Pack the avocado separately and slice it right before lunch
I recommend cutting the avocado right before lunch, no more than a few hours before eating it.
Wrap it in plastic wrap
If you want to meal prep any of these recipes, you can still prepare the rest of the ingredients ahead of time and wrap the avocado separately to minimize exposure to air.
Squeeze lime juice
The acidity in lime and lemon juice will coat the avocado and slow down the browning process.
