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.
First of all, check out this BOMB shopping trip (I stocked up on the odwalla bars – mmmm). These are such great snacks because they aren’t too filling, but are still healthy and yum. Second of all, I feel as though Bruno’s Ravioli deserves a may-jah shout out considering I go there EVERY day I work. They have the best coffee (that also happens to be cheaper than starbucks) and their salads, sandwiches, and soups are to-DIE-for delicious. Everyone that goes there falls in love, and that’s not an exaggeration. So of course today was… Read more >

Gym? What’s that? So I’ve been reallllly milking the sick excuse. I can’t even remember my last work out. After this next stretch of 3 shifts in a row (Fri, Sat, Sun) I am SO getting back on the horse. I slept in again today and I woke up feeling so much better. I think I found the way to get over a cold – tea, rest, repeat (yeah, I’m a nurse). Froth. Caffeine. SoY latte goodness. Keeping with the extra-calories-to-cure-me theme…I had a rather large breakfast again this morning (for a non-bfast person). Above… Read more >

I actually woke up with a hop in my step today – how weird is that? At 5 am?! On a work day?! That’s not even normal for a morning person…let alone me. I think it’s because I wanted to be over my cold SOOO badly, I was trying to will it to happen. I felt a little better, still way sick, but at least I could walk to work without getting out of breath. I had a glass of tea before I left (this NEW kind). Green tea with acai and pomegranate…so good. Hopefully,… Read more >

Top of the morning! Well, this morning I woke up because I couldn’t breathe (nose clogged, throat sore). Not the best way to start the day. The good news was that I could buy the new B Spears cd (hooray for healthy Britney) and enjoy it during breakfast. Since I am mega sick, I thought I would give my body a big breakfast to fight off the infection (I am supposed to work tomorrow). I’m not a big breakfast person, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I finished a lot of containers this morning… Read more >

I’m SOOOO sick. I am all runny, and sniffly…I can’t stop sneezing and my throat feels like I’m swallowing sandpaper. Looks like today is going to be a Vitamin C loaded day…I’m thinking soup in mass quantities.I actually only had about half this mug because I kept having coughing fits after each sip. Kyle came home for lunch, yea!! He had some of the vegan stuffing I made for thanksgiving and LOVED it. Success for me! For my lunch I had creamy butternut squash soup. 2 and a half bowls…so good, and perf for my… Read more >
