- Add lemon juice to the mashed avocado and mix well to prevent browning and enhance flavor.

- Toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp around the edges.

- Carefully place the second slice of bread on top, avocado side down, to complete the sandwich.

Tips
- Choose a perfectly ripe avocado - it should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy.
- For extra crunch, toast the bread until it's golden brown and crispy.
- Use fresh, crisp mung bean sprouts for the best texture and nutritional punch.
- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning for an extra flavor kick.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, add lemon juice immediately after mashing and cover tightly if not serving right away.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a thin layer of hummus or a sprinkle of hemp seeds.
- If you're meal prepping, keep the avocado spread and sprouts separate until just before eating to maintain maximum freshness.
