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.
Are you scared of the title? Haha…don’t worry, I haven’t gone quite that hummus crazy (yet!). But I did bake a batch of falafel today, which looked pretty damn similar to (how I would picture) chickpea pastries. But before I went to town in the kitch, I got my breks-face on. Coffee. Froth. Bluebeezies. Chobani. I heart my antioxidants and Chobz knows how to do it right. The store has been running on empty in the greek yogurt department, so I finally was able to re-stock. I actually went to the grocery store at 9… Read more >

What would Jillian do? Not to sound lemming-like, but that’s kinda how my mind has been operating lately. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing either, since she’s pretty much on the pulse with healthy and hippie-esque trends. Paraben free soap – check! Formaldehyde free mouth wash – check! You get the point…but hormone free hygiene products aren’t the only thing she draws attention to. It would take an entire post to profess my serious amor for Jillian Michaels. She’s amaze. But don’t worry, I won’t. Instead, I’ll just throw out some shameless plugs. (I’ve… Read more >

In true Sesame Street style, today was sponsored by the colors GREEN and ORANGE. I didn’t realize it until I was posting these photos, but there’s a real trend going on in my eats from today. Breks was caffeine and fruit. After the booze infusion that was this weekend, I was thinking of doing something detox-y, but then I remembered that my normal eats ARE mostly just that. So, onward ho! I was happy to get back to my froth love. Coffee just isn’t the same when I don’t get my own non-milk stevia on. … Read more >

What a FUN weekend trip to the west coast. And by fun, I mean booze-filled. I was drunkface this weekend, and now I feel like I’ve been dragged home from CA. I arrived on Friday afternoon, and before I knew it, Sunday morning came and I was heading back to NYC. This is the view from the world’s smallest plane hang-glider I was forced to take to and from SFO. All the Xanax in Britney’s purse couldn’t have calmed me enough for this. Propellers? Uhhh…I prefer the JetBlue air buses, thank you very much. Has… Read more >

This morning I woke up before 7 am sans alarm (???). I tried to get back into REM, but my body wasn’t having it. Oh well. I did have a few errands to run, so I washed & brushed and headed out… By the time I got back to my apartment it was 7:15 and I had already tackled 2/3 of my day’s to-do list!! Then I looked down at my outfit. Note to self: do NOT leave the apartment when you’ve had less than 5 hours of sleep…I looked like some disastrous combination of… Read more >
