Layer 0.5 cups Greek yogurt into a serving glass or bowl. Spoon the softened oats on top, drizzle 1 tbs honey or maple syrup, add 0.5 cups mixed berries, and finish with 1 tbs toasted chopped nuts if using.

Toast 1 slice of whole-grain bread until golden and crisp.

While bread toasts, scoop 0.5 of a ripe avocado into a bowl. Mash with a fork until slightly chunky.

Stir into the mashed avocado 0.5 tsp lemon juice, 0.5 tsp olive oil, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.125 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. If using, add 0.125 tsp red pepper flakes and 1 tbs chopped fresh herbs.

Spread the seasoned avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Serve immediately so the toast remains crisp.

Boil or heat fresh water to the appropriate temperature for your beverage.

If making tea: pour 8 oz hot water over 1 tea bag and steep 2–4 minutes (green tea shorter, herbal longer). Remove the bag and add a lemon slice if desired. If making coffee: brew 8 oz of coffee to your preferred strength and add milk or a splash if desired.
