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.
As far as weekends go, this was pretty damn near perfect. It started with a 10 am wake up call (sleep in much?), and then a bit of coffee loading. Since it was a GORGEOUS 40+ degrees outside, Kyle and I wanted to get our faces in the sun asap. So, after snacking on one (and a half) of my chia seed oat bars, we set out for a run in the park. I can’t even tell you how long I have been waiting to feel the road beneath my feet. The treadmill just hasn’t… Read more >

Enemy. (Grrrr…why won’t you open sesame pistachio!!!) I have busted many a nail trying to crack open these tight lipped mothahs! Not cool man. Not cool. The shells make them hard to inhale as fast as my tummy wants them. Maybe it’s good thing? Nah. Friends. :) Super happy yummy eats. In case you didn’t notice (and really, why would you…), I’ve been (kinda) avoiding the pretzel wagon as of late. It was sorta on purpose after my ridiculously uncontrollable behavior with the last few bags. It actually has more to do with the $$… Read more >

I would just like to say how awesome it is entering the subway at 5:45 am in darkness and reemerging to a glorious sunrise. Light in the morning! Can I get a hell yeah? Anyways, here are my eats, pre-packed and ready for the trek to the hospital… Apples, salad, carrots, hummus, and bars (PB&J Dipped MoJo bar, Super Protein Odwalla bar, and the latest PranaBar flavor to rock my world). In zee salad: spinach, steamed brocc, zucch, sesame/seaweed salad, and dried cranz. My feelings about the Cranberry Goji Supercharger PranaBar cannot be masked. Effing… Read more >

Yesterday I went to Whole Foods for a “few things”…and came away with $75 worth of Lord-knows-what. Grrr…how did this happen?! It started innocently enough (just spinach, apples, and I’m out), but one thing led to another, and the next thing I knew, I was lugging a basket to the 10+ items line. Damn. Look at all this loot!! I got at least 5 different kinds of nuts from the bulk bins, in addition to random trail mixes, etc. (and for all the new readers who just hopped on the HHH bandwagon, I am not… Read more >

Is it really March already? I’m so glad that NuNaturals’ vanilla stevia is back in my life. Coffee is definitely my drug of choice, but this stuff is incredibly addicting. It’s like super-crack. Nothing like adding crack to another stimulant. So, I was seriously buzzzzzzed as I headed to the gym. Yes, oddly enough, I went to the gym today, and in the AM no less! I haven’t been feeling the gym much lately, but I was really pumped today and decided to get in some cardio while the iron was hot. How cool are… Read more >
