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.
I feel like I need to play catch up. As I mentioned in my eco hippie post, I was a bit ill the other day, so my pics were pretty boring. Here’s a queasy stomach tutorial: First, drown yourself in tea… Then, slowly make your way through as many different carbs as you can get your hands on… Natural antioxidants don’t hurt either… (Thanks to the POM fairy, Ryan, I am stocked for a while, too – score) Mid-day napping is practically a given…on top of several hours in front of the t.v. (i.e. Top… Read more >

I love all the tea suggestions you guys have/had for me!! Keep ‘em coming, I already added several to my grocery list (much to Kyle’s dismay). Yesterday I felt sick for much of the day, so I don’t have many pics (it’s a sad day when culinary creations aren’t high on my to-do list). Instead of showing you bags of pretzels and bowls of oats, I am going to do a different kind of post. While watching yesterday’s ellen, I was inspired to do a bit of research. As a self-proclaimed “hippie,” I consider my… Read more >

If you know me, you know I love tea. It’s one of the only redeeming parts about cold weather. I crave the feeling of a steamy mug in my hands, and the aroma of tea wafting through the apartment. There is truly nothing better. Well, aside from coffee that is. 😉 Peek-a-boo (And this is just half of my tea stash) That said, I’m pretty picky when it comes to my teas. Some of my favorite brands are Yogi and Tazo, but thanks to OpenSky, I discovered a newbie that has been rocking my world. … Read more >

To the few people who understand my weird (read: abnormal) humor, this title is for you. For the rest of you, I’m sorry. Hopefully this isn’t your first red flag that I’m not exactly “normal,” but if it is…well, there you have it. Be afraid. Be very afraid. I had a weird dinner tonight. “My salsa makes all the pretty girls dance…” Yeah, Eminem knows ‘wassup. So before you close this page in disgust, allow me to explain. ‘Cado + salsa + large-and-in-charge amounts of roasted red pepper hummus = Spreadable brilliance. So why limit… Read more >

This Monday was especially painful because the sun was radiating into my patients’ rooms all day long. It was heavenly, but I was stuck in the hospital. So it was agonizingly beautiful. Such a tease! At least I had good food to enjoy on my lunch break… Bars, apples, baggies, tupperware. Fabulous. In the tupp: spinach, seaweed salad, carrots, broccoli, and pepitas. To the people who asked, I sometimes make my own seaweed salad, but this one was store bought (you can see a different salad of the same brand here). Occasionally they have them… Read more >
