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.
This post is super old but I didn’t have internet for the looooongest time…let’s back track a few days: Kyle and I were up at 6 am to do some last minute prep work before the movers arrived. Naturally a run to the ‘bucks was in order. Once 9 am rolled around, the movers arrived and we sat back and watched the magic happen (wow!!). Talk about perfecting their craft (I’m taking the liberty of describing moving as an art form – if you’ve ever done a big one, you will agree with me on… Read more >

…But only because of my ridiculous trip to HR today, which felt more like The Amazing Race than an exit interview… The building has 19 floors. The elevators are split so they don’t all go to every floor. I had to go to the 19th floor, then the 5th, then the 19th, and then the 5th again. Because I have nothing better to do right now…like, oh, I don’t know, packing maybe? The lobby guard thought I was out of my mind as I went back and forth between one set of elevators and the… Read more >

As Kyle and I attempt to empty our fridge and freezer before moving, I have discovered both the pros & cons of pre-packaged meals. Pro: Mindless, easy prep (box –> plate? even a caveman Kyle can do that) Con: Stipation (where the greens at, yo?) Ok, we aren’t eating ONLY thawed sh!t… I still had some odds and ends that I pulled together for a salad, which included the raw One Lucky Duck Rosemary quackers I bought last week. I sampled a few with hummus and they were pretty tasty. My only issue was that… Read more >

I started the morning sans cafe because I just wasn’t in the mood. The wind was pretty ferosh outside, which always makes me want to snuggle up with a book. So I read on the couch while enjoying a plate of grapes and strawberries. Later on a made an oat, cinnamon, raisin elixir. Here’s a confession: I like raw oats. As in, uncooked whole rolled oats. When I was little I used to pour the instant Quaker packs in a bowl, add milk, and eat it like cold cereal. Obviously, my palate hasn’t matured very… Read more >

If Pigpen and Courtney Love shared a teeny tiny living space, I’d imagine it would still look more organized than our apartment. Moving isn’t fun. There’s chaos everywhere. Given that, I believe I deserve mayj props for busting out a semi respectable breakfast. Berry carob pancakes 1 1/2 cup brown rice flour 2 tsp NuNaturals stevia 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup frozen (and then thawed) berries 1/4 cup carob chips 1 shake Marx Foods salt 1 cup Silk vanilla soymilk I gobbled them up hot off the press…much like the Cosmo, Bride, and InStyle… Read more >
