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 wouldn’t even know where to begin. It was such a stressful (work filled) weekend, I’m just glad it’s over and I made it through. I am far too exhausted to type, so I won’t be sharing the latest ICU happs. Instead, I’ll stick to the food. Saturday’s pre-packed snacks/lunch included some oldies (pistachio, almond, goji, dried cranz mix), TJ’s “Go Rah” Trek Mix bar, dried fruit, yadda yadda – and some newbies. I have seen these MoJo bars throughout the blog world before, but thought they were some urban legend. Turns out, they are… Read more >

I almost titled this post “my love affair with Dave,” but something tells me that if this were the one post title Kyle did choose to read, he wouldn’t be so amused. That said, I am, in fact, in love. Just say no to bread on drugs! Please take note of the seedy goodness. I took several glamour shots, so bear with me (and if you’re curious, yes, it tasted just as good, if not better, than it photographed). And just what do you suppose I chose to accompany this lovely carb? That, should be… Read more >

Were you all on the edge of your seat over today’s lunch surprise? :) Probably NOT since it’s no secret I’ve been after these elusive PB&J Larabars forever! These were NOTHING short of perfection. I have no clue how they do it, but these bars truly do taste just like peanut butter and jelly sammiches. Even the smell when I unwrapped it took me back to my school lunches from back in the day. I’m in love. Good thing I bought a few…these babies were harder to track down than Bin Laden (but much more… Read more >

This is a mantra I rely on heavily at work…so you can imagine my excitement when I discovered they sold these historic posters (obviously I bought one). You can read about the history here, but basically, I use it to keep me from freaking out when patient’s are about to code, or I’m racing frantically to get them to a stable state, pushing IVs and slapping defib pads on the patient…you know…day to day things. I bought the large poster, and they sent along a mini-card too (above) which subsequently went in my wallet to… Read more >

Blueberries? Banana? Bruno? Blogging? Take your pick. My java was full of frothy love – I hearted it (literally). Even though I woke up at 7:30, I remained one with the sheets until 9, which meant that I was a hungry hungry hippie when I finally got up. Not the kind of breakfast I usually go for, but my tums was grrrrrowling, so I knew it needed to have some staying power. This beautiful bowl included cinnamon-raisin-almond granola, fresh blueberries, and frozen banana slices. I love the way milk coats frozen fruit and makes a… Read more >
