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.
Full of errands, full of food, full of activity, full of sun, full of living. How else would I start the day? Alongside the apple was a new green monster blend. I double fisted it with the spinach, which is why it turned out such a pretty color. The other ingreds included a whole frozen banana, 1/4 block silken tofu, ice, ice and more ice. It looked neon in person, but isn’t quite as bright in the photo. Ah well, just take my word for it – ‘twas muy verde. After getting errands done around… Read more >

There won’t be many pictures in this post because I was in the sun ALL. DAY. LONG. I can’t get over it. I took 4,601,546 pictures of cherry blossoms and dogwoods today. Literally. My computer nearly exploded with all the megabytes I tried to upload from my camera. Did I just use a techie term? Why yes I did. There’s hope yet. Anyways, here’s how I started the day – whole wheat sando thin with Justin’s maple almond butter and banana slices (along with unpictured javahhhh). I had a bushel of apples while taking the city… Read more >

*Post’s title courtesy of my lover, JT (and due to the fact that I ate several meals out this weekend). Apparently I just can’t get my blogging self together on the weekends (or when the weather is nice). Sooo, Happy (belated) Easter! And now for a quickie recap of the last couple of days… Saturday The AM can be summarized pretty briefly: Starbucks, shopping, more shopping, and (finally) lunch at home. So far all the Gardein products I have tried have been fresh (not frozen) ones, so making the meat-free buffalo wings was my first… Read more >

Did anyone play a joke today? Or fall for someone else’s April Fools? I was forwarded this by a few people (who know of my love for the ‘Bucks), and I definitely fell for it at first. HA! Anyways, I don’t feel like posting today, so I’ll just give you my breakfast and the recipe from the falafel I made the other day. I toasted a plain H&H bagel then added a mountain of Earth Balance (the green one that’s soy free) and carob chips. Decadent for so early in the day, huh? What can… Read more >
