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 things first.  Today is Kyle’s birthday… …feliz cumpleanos amor mio!  Because he is my best friend, I know he will forgive me for posting these.  🙂 Blue steel. Lounging. Te quiero muchisimo.  So, while we are in CA celebrating with family and friends, I figured I should give you guys something to do… And since there was so much interest in this wonderful product, I am having a sale on Measure-Up bowls at my OpenSky shop.  Remember these fun babies?  Starting today (3/19) at 9 am you will can get a 15% discount for… Read more >

Westward bound

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.

Oh happy day!  I love St. Patrick’s Day for several reasons: The start of March Madness Kyle’s birthday Green themed everything Boozing (to the nth degree) Random phrases like “sonny” and “me lucky charms” Of course I am one of those people who takes the green theme above and beyond…so prepare yourself for what’s to come. Green monster, complete with spinach, kale, frozen strawberries, mango, and Vita Coco.  Natural sunlight.  Natural sugar. Non-green joy. After breakfast, I headed out for a run.  I made a quick loop in Central Park, came home and showered as… Read more >

Bombizzle mix and MIX1

I won’t burst into Annie’s theme song, but it’s definitely a relief to see the sun again.  Caffeine + froth = a hop in my step Oddly enough, I started feeling iffy again half way through this HUGE mug, so I curbed the coffee and set my sights on the next meal. I guess meal isn’t the right word, but apples need no justification. Blogging and random dilly-dallying (cooking, emailing, erranding, etc.) around the apartment took up the majority of my morning, and pretty soon noon rolled around and I needed sustenance. I added the… Read more >

Don’t call it a comeback

Top of the morning!  I finally woke up today feeling like my normal self.  Stomach woes be gone.  Thanks for all your well-wishes throughout my sick days week.  Even though I woke up at 8, I decided to go back to bed because extra zzzzz’s are invaluable when I’m in recovery mode.  Plus, the apartment was cold, our internet connection was down, and the warm down comforter was calling my name.  Excuses, excuses.  Needless to say, I was ready to get my brunch on when I finally did get up.  Enter Justin’s maple almond butter. … Read more >
