Natalie Jill presents a short, informal YouTube segment celebrating avocados and demonstrating three simple recipes: a citrus avocado shrimp stack (1/4 cup rice, 1/4 avocado, 1/4 sliced grapefruit topped with shrimp and lemon), a lettuce avocado wrap (1/2 cup diced shrimp, 1/2 cup chopped tomato, 1/4 cup mango, 1/2 cup avocado, cilantro, romaine, lemon/lime), and an avocado breakfast sandwich (1 slice gluten-free bread, 1/4 avocado, 1 hard-boiled egg, cilantro, lemon, optional cayenne). She also gives handling tips (ripeness by gentle squeeze, refrigerate when ripe), anti-browning methods (lemon juice or leaving the pit), and notes that avocados contain more potassium than bananas and ripen faster near apples or bananas. The video closes with a call-to-action to a paid 7-day "Unprocessed You" jumpstart.

Back that hots up. You want to guac about it. You're fat. No, I'm not. Yes, you are. But you're the good fat. What's avocado? I'm just seriously avocatrol.
I really am. Hi, guys. Natalie, Jill. Welcome back to Unprocess yous Diet. Today we're talking about avocados because avocados are fat. Hey, wait. I'm the good kind of fat. They're the good kind of fat. That's not a bad thing. Talking avocados today. And these are one of my favorite fruits. Did you know avocado is actually a fruit? And no, that does not make guacamole a smoothie. But avocado is a fruit, comes from a tree and they are so good for you. They've got a lot of the good healthy fat, they taste yummy and they keep you full for a long time. So I love avocados. I'm going to show you three of my favorite recipes today. They're super simple to make. You can make them easy. They look pretty and they taste yummy too.
This one is so super simple. It's my little citrus avocado shrimp stack. All you do for this one is a fourth of a cup of rice, a fourth of an avocado, one fourth of a sliced grapefruit. Top it with shrimp and lemon juice and it is perfect. Presentation is everything on this one. Your guests will love this perfect little snack. You've got the carbs, protein and yummy healthy fat in that one. This one is an awesome lettuce avocado wrap. All you need for this one is a half a cup of diced shrimp, half a cup of chopped tomato, 1/4 cup of mango, half a cup of avocado, some cilantro and then romaine lettuce for the wrap and then some lemon and lime juice. Look how pretty these are. Presentation is everything on these too. But it is a nice complete meal because you've got the protein, the healthy fat and some carbs in there with the vegetables. And then this one is a yummy breakfast. This is just my yummy avocado sandwich. Now what I did for here is I used one slice of gluten free bread for my carbs. I've got a quarter of avocado chopped up, one egg which is hard boiled and sliced, some cilantro and some lemon juice, and then you can add some cayenne pepper extra for the taste. Perfect little breakfast sandwich. Keeps you full for hours. I know it's wrong, but it just it feels so ripe. So how do you know when an avocado is ripe? Well, typically when you get them, they're usually hard. But as soon as they're that soft feel where you have to be delicate squeezing them, they're ready to eat and that's when you can put them in the fridge. Now when you do cut an avocado, they do turn brown pretty quick. So a tip to keep them to stay green longer is to put some lemon juice on them. Another way to keep avocados from turning brown is to keep the little center in there. The pit. Keep it in there. Other interesting things to know about an avocado is they have more potassium than a banana and did you know? I have no idea why, but they will ripen quicker if you put an apple or a banana nearby. So there you have it. In all seriousness, avocados are da bomb diggity and they make perfect snacks and perfect meals.
