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.
Were you all on the edge of your seat over today’s lunch surprise? :) Probably NOT since it’s no secret I’ve been after these elusive PB&J Larabars forever! These were NOTHING short of perfection. I have no clue how they do it, but these bars truly do taste just like peanut butter and jelly sammiches. Even the smell when I unwrapped it took me back to my school lunches from back in the day. I’m in love. Good thing I bought a few…these babies were harder to track down than Bin Laden (but much more… Read more >

This is a mantra I rely on heavily at work…so you can imagine my excitement when I discovered they sold these historic posters (obviously I bought one). You can read about the history here, but basically, I use it to keep me from freaking out when patient’s are about to code, or I’m racing frantically to get them to a stable state, pushing IVs and slapping defib pads on the patient…you know…day to day things. I bought the large poster, and they sent along a mini-card too (above) which subsequently went in my wallet to… Read more >

Blueberries? Banana? Bruno? Blogging? Take your pick. My java was full of frothy love – I hearted it (literally). Even though I woke up at 7:30, I remained one with the sheets until 9, which meant that I was a hungry hungry hippie when I finally got up. Not the kind of breakfast I usually go for, but my tums was grrrrrowling, so I knew it needed to have some staying power. This beautiful bowl included cinnamon-raisin-almond granola, fresh blueberries, and frozen banana slices. I love the way milk coats frozen fruit and makes a… Read more >

I’m in a sassy little mood, hence the non-PG title. You’ll see what I am referring to with today’s dinner…(I hope?) But first, I’m going to rewind to Sunday night. Because of the ree-dik bus ride back from Atlantic City, I was too lazy upload photos…so sorry for the delay…I know you all were on edge waiting for me to reveal the night’s eats, right? Well, don’t get too excited, I had a pretty lame-a$$ meal. On the left: broccoli salad, shredded carrot, and tofu scramble. On the right: steamed veggies with avocado. ZOOM you… Read more >

And fruit. And cooking. And cooking delish vegan food for non-vegans. This weekend I was able to enjoy all of these things. So much to say! Let’s back up to when the fun began…Friday. I was craving fruit like nobody’s business. No really. I think I made my point, yes? Kiwis are so sexy! They are one of the prettiest fruits, I think. So after I digested my fruit baby 😉 Kyle and I packed our bags and peaced out. Greyhound tix in hand, we boarded the bus…Atlantic City baby!!! My enthusiasm lasted all of… Read more >
