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 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 >

Welcome to the HHH fridge (if you can even call it that)…I don’t care what they say ladies, size DOES matter 😉 Now you can see exactly how pathetic NYC living is, and why I am forced to go grocery shopping on a (nearly) daily basis. The door holds next to nothing. So we can only have small cartons of milk. Hence the frequent rotation in my non-milk beverages. Most of the condiments are actually Kyle’s (along with the eggs, etc.) Some key condiments are the Nasoya “mayo,” peanut butter, Country Bob’s All Purpose sauce,… Read more >

Even with a huge cup of frothy coffee, the morning still sucked. After reading that Sarah decided it was time to bow out of the food blog world (darn creepers stalking her lovin family) I knew I needed something more substantial than my normal cup of joe! So I dried my tears and busted out the blender. This Amazing Grass smoothie contained half a plain greek yogurt (Chobani of course), half a frozen banana, almond milk, and a chocolate-y packet of lawn shavings. I stirred melon and dried cranberries into the rest of the… Read more >

I was sloshing the morning away with all this liquid love. I’m a certified Amazing-Grass-a-holic. Chocolate luuurrve. By the way, this smoothie was made with frozen bananas and plain greek yog, and was the BEST version yet. I wish my blender actually crushed ice the way blenders are supposed to…for some reason I keep getting to the bottom of my “blended” drinks to discover 4 ice cubes balls with the corners knicked off…I guess I’ll just have to make do with this one until next summer because we have no room in our kitchen (or… Read more >

Yes. I have it. And although flair ups have been minimal since I’ve been vegan, I DO still have days when I feel like caca (ironically, from the absence of it). TMI? Sorry. Usually these days are brought on by stress, and as much as I try to avoid it (with my nice planned out schedules), sometimes life throws a wrench in it. Unavoidable. Deal. This weekend, with my 3 shifts in a row schedule, I had to make like Tim Gunn and “make it work.” Comfort foods, aplenty. Review: not too shabby in a… Read more >
