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.
Well, I have been pretty bad about blogging, that’s a given… I think it is safe to say that I am going to be playing catch up for a few weeks! I have been good about taking photos, but that’s about it. So here goes nothing… Kyle and I were in Boston for the 18th and 19th, which was great. I have never been so I wanted to see it all. The most noteworthy thing for my foodie blog was the dinner we went to on Sat night called Top of the Hub which was… Read more >

INTRODUCING……the caffe froth! This little baby is worth an entire blog entry! All you do is add milk to the line (approx 1/3 cup) and give it a few pumps up and down (insert nasty joke here) and VIOLA!…you end up with this perfect frothy foamy creamy delicious milk. It is truly amazing. Then you can heat it up afterwards and it still retains the froth! I felt like a barista! I can’t use enough exclamation points to express how cool this appliance is. I would recommend it to EVERYone. Look how much foam in… Read more >

I would devote a whole wing of my mansion to be a starbucks…OR I would hire a starbucks barista to follow me around with a fully stocked coffee cart…I’m not sure why, but their coffee just tastes better in the store. I can’t make anything that’s even close in comparison! So it goes without saying that my morning started off with a fatty venti soy latte. I worked with my fav girlies today, so work was awesome. The unit was FULL so since there were 3 of us, we each had 3 patients. It was… Read more >

What could be better than a day full of ALL breakfast food! I heart breakfast food the most…I had a yummy cup of joe with a vanilla organic probiotic soy yogurt. This brand was so/so. I bought a few different brands of soy yogurt the other day to try them out, but I don’t know if I am going to like them…so far I have liked 1 of the 3 (not the best average). Here’s a recap of the soy yogurt trial up to now: O’Soy = good Wildwood = so-so Silk = yuck Lunch… Read more >

Weekend, finally. I bought a jar of soynut butter yesterday evening (after work grocery shopping is dangerous). I finished the jar today. That’s unacceptable! I started the morning (ok, afternoon) with coffee (ff vanilla creamer, skim plus, and stevia). Then I dug right into the soynut butter…I put it on EVERYthing I could get my hands on (including spoons by themselves). I finished off the Ezekiel bread with it (hmmm…approx 7 slices?) which was GREAT with a nice glass of silk soy milk and left me waaaaay full. Then I decided I should probably get… Read more >
