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.
Guess who’s turning 21 today!?!?! My baby sister, Marie!!! Somehow I am the shortest in my fam, even though I’m the oldest. Boo. I can’t believe she’s turning 21. She’ll always be 12 in my eyes. I can’t wait for her to visit NYC in August – we are going to celebrate in a MAYJ way! In case you were wondering (since I was just wishing happy birthday for my , yes, my sissie-poo and my popsicle do have back to back birthdays. Now, onto the food. Liquid AM. Slosh slosh. I used the above… Read more >

Work day = Packed lunch. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who brings lunch to work. I don’t get it!? There are a few things that baffle me about this, the first being the price of buying food on a daily basis. Sure, I can understand a treat once in a while, but every day? That adds up! Second, I don’t understand how people can leave their house without any preparation should they get hungry. I know I have a job unlike most other people. I don’t have the luxury of choosing when… Read more >

Yeah, creative juices are dried up for tonight. It’s been a long day, so I’m not even going to bother. You don’t care about the title anyways, right? Why does it seem like I’m 12 feet tall while taking this bird’s eye shot of my lunch? Look at all the glorious food: Berries GoMega odwalla bar, Cashew Cookie Larabar, hummus, salad of raw-ness, dried papayas & mangoes, home made raw trail mix (carob chips, almonds, cashews, and raisins), and don’t forget the apple! The stars the the show weren’t too shy for a close up…. Read more >

I had work the past two days, so this may get a bit repetitive…packed lunches as always. Dried fruit, Larabar, Clif bar, dried fruit & nuts (?), hummus, raw salad, apple. Read on for the deets. Lately I’ve been trying to branch out and dabble in the raw/food combining world, and I have to say, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how positive the results have been. Even though I have proclaimed myself anti-nuts in the past and vehemently refused to budge on the issue, for some reason I have been on a nut kick lately. … Read more >
