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.

What do hippies eat?

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 >

Crack is wack!

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 >

Barely Bake Chia Oaties

I decided to make up a recipe today. Because my baking skills aren’t as amazing as I’d like (I’m certainly no pastry chef), I usually follow recipes rather diligently. But tonight, for some reason, I decided to wing it. I suppose I was inspired by the massive shipment I received the day before from NuNaturals. After they discovered my vegan cornbread recipe (that was perfectly sweet thanks to NuNaturals Stevia Baking Blend), they asked if they could share my recipe with other “foodie enthusiasts.” As if that wasn’t thrilling enough, they offered to send… Read more >

Peace out February, you won’t be missed

Thanks for all the positive feedback on my OpenSky shop! I have a ton more in the works, so I’ll keep you guys in the know. I had an accident with my froth this morning. Disregard the mess, it tasted awesome. Bride mag + apple = bridapple. Sounds like a horse food. Ah well. Lunch was a toasty sando with roasted red pepper hummus and greek yogurt-i-fied tofu “turkey” spread. I think I added too much greek yogurt 😕 because the “turkey” spread was a little overly oozy. I don’t think this sammie was… Read more >

Mother Nature must be mad

Can you believe this weather? Haiti, Chile, Hawaii…makes the East Coast snow seem insignificant. There’s a car under there somewhere… So I stomped my way through a good foot of snow to get to the hospital today. Brrr. I toted my usual eats with me too, including a big salad, a squash side dish, and apples and bars aplenty. The big boy on the left contained spinach, steamed zucchini, carrots, brocc, chopped celery, chickpeas, and dried cranz. Holy ingredients. The smaller side tupperware had delicata squash (I finally found it again! yes!!) with raisins. Do… Read more >
