About Elise
I’m a nurse. An exercise lover. A whole foods connoisseur. A health enthusiast. And I have IBS. No need to cue the sappy violin music yet...
I’ve found that eating a mostly plant-based diet has allowed me to continue to live and love life to the fullest. Although moderation isn’t something I do well, I’m 100% devoted to giving my body pure, wholesome, quality food. Nutritious and delicious, all the time.
Hungry Hungry Hippie is a way for me to share my daily dealings with food, fitness, and everything in between.

Don’t worry, your favorite hippie will return to her blogging duties in due time and share all the wonderful (and not so wonderful) details of this journey with you. Sincerely, Laura (Elise’s favorite… Read more >

Love. I’m not a big Valentine’s person. Never have been. Cupid. Hearts. Chocolate. Whatever. But that’s neither here nor there. The important thing is that the Reginald’s Homemade giveaway winner is #109 Katie @ Peace Love & Oats who tweeted about the nut butters 🙂 Congrats girl! Send me your address and I’ll be sure your four pack of nut butters get on their way. *Sorry for the early announcement, I’m heading to the hospital*

That’s the name of the meal I ordered at brunch on Saturday. Kyle’s parents took us to Real Food Daily, my favorite breakfast spot in Santa Monica. I love this place so much I’ve stopped linking to it on my restaurants tab because I’ve been at least a dozen times. My plate’s the one on the upper left. It has two (gluten free) pancakes, scrambled tofu (with onions, tomatoes, & cashew cheese), tempeh bacon, and hash browns. Holy breakfast right? You can choose between fruit or hash browns (can’t say no to fried taters!)… Read more >
