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 don’t know how this beaut escaped my taste buds for so long, but now that I’ve found it, I’m not letting it go. This squash just blew my former #1 (butternut) way out of the water. Dear Mr. Butternut squash, You were good to me for a while. You stood the test of time as I experimented with various other squash varieties. Acorn had nothing on you, pumpkins were a close call, but in the end you prevailed. Spaghetti squash are fun to play with, but can’t stand alone. Even the much adored Kabocha… Read more >

Froth-master-flex If you want foam like whoa, you can always click over to my tutorials tab. Anyways, I spent the AM researching items for our wedding registry. SO. MUCH. FUN. I mean, I love Kyle and all (obviously), but getting married has mega perks aside from the whole life-of-eternal-bliss thing. I am going to have one baller kitchen once I am a Mrs. Of course, I am always looking for more ideas, so if you want to share with me things that you think I should register for/know about – hit me up in the… Read more >

PranaBar hooked it up!! I was soooo excited to try these bars. My work eats were long overdue for a newbie 🙂 Pairs of everything (salad, apples, bars). Salad #1 (spinach, asparagus, green beans, carrots, adzuki beans) Salad #2 (quinoa, peas, corn, dried cranz) Bar#1 (Coconut Acai PranaBar) Bar #2 (Mocha-walla Odwalla bar) Apple #1 (red gala) Apple #2 (yellow wahsington) I think it’s fairly obvious which part of my lunch I was most excited to try… (Aside from Larabars) I have never found a bar with such great stats. Seriously, this company has a… Read more >

This is one of the more bare work lunches I have packed… Don’t worry, the apple-less state of this photo was remedied once I took my lunch break. Thank you Gracefully for providing such an abundance of eye candy organic fruit. Greens entered my bod in the form of spinach, brocc, and peas. The rest of the salad ingreds included adzuki beans, chickpeas, corn and dried cranz. Since Kyle has been a slave to the office, and I have hardly seen him over the last 72 hours, we decided a nice date night at Peacefood… Read more >

I was too lazy to make coffee this morning, so I headed to Starbucks to get my java fix…plus I’m way more productive without Bravo in the background. Although I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day, I am enjoying the heart cups. I busted out an apple after my soy misto. Around noon I headed home for lunch. Mostly I wanted avocado, so I made sure my meal revolved around that. BBQ sauce/nooch covered one half of the WF sandwich thin, with avocado lathered on the opposite half. I had a bowl of sweet… Read more >
