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’m all about VeganMoFo. October is already my favorite month, so I was delighted to read Gena’s latest post and find out that there is yet ANOTHER reason to smile now that it’s October. I mean, why not dedicate an entire month to celebrating a healthy lifestyle! In honor of this special Vegan Month Of Food, in each post I am going to reveal a celebrity who is vegan. Today’s vegan celeb was someone I was QUITE surprised about…I mean after years of torturing himself for entertainment purposes, who would ever have expected STEVE-O to… Read more >

Happy middle-of-the-week day (I don’t really like to associate “hump” with such a negative time). You know the drill. My pre-packed comida included: dried papaya chunks, oat bran pretzels & raisins, salad (with the works), apple pie Larabar, and peanut butter pretzel MoJo bar. Spinach, carrots, raw corn, black beans, and sweet potatoes. Love me some sweet p’s. They go with EVERYTHING…even things they shouldn’t go with, they do. I dare you to name something they don’t go with. Just to be clear though, I’m not saying I’ll try it… 😉 This was a good… Read more >

This morning there was not enough coffee in the world. Sometimes late nights do that… Imagine this mug times 100. Ok, 3. For breakfast, I practiced my vampire bite with various pieces of fruit. Clearly I’m going through True Blood withdrawal… I also had some Smart Balance-i-fied toast. Had to finish up the Alvarado Street loaf to make way for my new Nature’s Pride loaves. (Fangs marks not included) As usual, on my day off I worked on re-stocking the kitchen/fridge for my work days. This included making: quinoa, chickpeas, black beans, steamed veggies in… Read more >

Coffee + fresh fruit + bridal mags = perfect rainy day morning I literally can’t get enough fruit lately. It’s practically all I crave (aside from hummus, I mean). Around the clock. Every hour, on the hour. Strawberries, pineapple, and apples – oh my! Which do you like more, my voracious apple-tite (#2 before 11 am), my cheesy desktop background photo, or my stunning steel colored nail polish? For me, it’s a toss up. Apples are simply THAT good, and judging by everyone’s comments on yesterday’s post, it sounds like I’m not the only… Read more >

At some point I guess you just have to accept that you can’t catch up. For me, that day is today. Rather than go back to where I last left off (Friday’s eats), I am skipping ahead to the weekend’s eats. Trust me, you aren’t missing anything too epic…hummus and fruit, no doubt. You know what a packed lunch means… Work weekend 🙁 The snack deets: green monster superfood odwalla bar, peanut toffee buzz clif bar (holy EFFING yum – is this a new flavor, or have i just found the light?), the last of… Read more >
