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.
Do you see the problem here? I don’t know WHAT I was thinking when I was packing this food up…clearly there was no shot in hell that this amount of food would tide me over for my entire 12 hour shift. Salad? Check. Apples? Double check. Pretz/carob/raisins? Check. Drank? Check. And yet, all those goodies weren’t even close to enough food…by my 2 pm lunch break I was left with nothing but my ensalada. Where the bars at, yo?!?! Indeed, supplementation was very necessary (see below). I bought this big a$$ tub of nuts/carob… Read more >

***Holy crap you guys like oats! I’m loving all the entries to my giveaway, so keep ‘em coming!!*** Well, if yesterday I forgot what the gym was, today I forgot what work was… Apparently, several days off in a row –> Reality check! [Ouch] At least I remembered how to pack a lunch…look at all the colors! I literally think my work eats managed to rep’ every color (can we count the dried cranz as purple?). It may be a stretch but I’m calling it poetic license. Deal. Apple. Apple. Bar. Bar. Bar. Salad. Carrots…. Read more >

It’s no secret, I love trips home. West Coast sunshine, family and friends…can’t get enough! This trip was jam packed, due to Kyle’s birthday celebration and an insane amount of wedding planning. Since I have photos up the hoo-ha, I’ll try to avoid the mundane (read: heaps of Stacy’s pita chips and hummus), such as this: And show you only the highlights, like this: Brewskies and cake. Now that’s a trip home! As I mentioned before, Friday was Kyle’s birthday, so we celebrated all day long. The key to having a fabulous birthday is having… Read more >

Off to CA, but here is how my morning has been… Java. Apples. Cinnamon. [Hours of iTunes drama] Another trip to Barnes & Noble (I blame the aforementioned tech issues for my purchase…but if there’s one thing I have learned when flying across the country, it’s to bring way more entertainment/food/supplies than you think you will need). And so here’s what I packed… Z bar, Boomi Bar, Prana Bar, apples, carrots, pretz/nut/raisin/carob chip mix, salad in a tupp. Hopefully this flight will go NOTHING like my last one…I’d really like to rest.
