My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.

Ingredients for 8 servings
Yields 1 cup; 2 tablespoons = 1 serving
- 3 egg yolks
- juice from 1 lemon
- 2 1/2 tablespoons hot water

- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
Steps
- To a food processor (or blender), add egg yolks, hot water and lemon juice. Pulse blend for a few seconds until somewhat slushy.
