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 guess the cold weather is back? At least the weekend was nice, but talk about short lived. Good morning blog-loves! I’m in an especially great mood this morning because I (again) was called late last night by my work to get the day off. I still get paid, but because they were overstaffed, I don’t have to go in. I don’t know if this is something to be worried about, though, since 2 other NY hospitals recently went under, and we really haven’t had too many cases lately. And we all know our economy… Read more >

Hooray! My boyfriend is back 🙂 We (sorta) slept in, but first thing upon waking, Kyle made us some nice frothy American coffee. I think he missed the ‘bucks while in China. Check out the MASSIVE mug he brought me home (I have an obsession with huge coffee mugs, especially Starbucks’ mugs from different cities). Brekkie: Soynut butter on whole wheat tortillas. Look at all those delish grains and flax seeds! I love this brand of tortillas! I also had a blueberry Chobz. I am really loving these flavored ones. I think blueberry is my… Read more >

Oh sweet Sabado!!! I love weekends! Coffee + crossword = life is good. Did I mention my BOYFRIEND is coming home today. China has had him far too long. I broke the fast with PB puffins… What a heavenly bowl of cereal. In keeping with the nut-butter theme… I had a heaping spoonful of soynut butter with some apple slices. Food porn. Since yesterday’s was so good… Fresh melon + frozen grapes + soy yogurt I even added in a splash of POM 🙂 Later I had a GN (Gary Null’s) veggie burger with hummus. … Read more >

You would never know how productive today was if you tracked me with a GPS (I was literally in the same square foot in my apartment for 99% of the day)…hunched over the computer BEGGING it to cooperate with me. I got up nice an early, even though I had today OFF from work :) I was thrilled beyond belief to get some extra rest all my errands done. Seriously, I had frothy coffee and soynut butter oats and then got crackin’… Oh, and soynut butter is ridiculously good, btw. This was my day. Restoring,… Read more >

Discovery!! Hot water and a shot of POM = yummmmmm! I woke up with a grrrrowling stomach, so I knew I had to have something before I hit the subway. But I’m not a fan of eating first thing in the morning (my tum tum doesn’t handle it well for some reason), so this warm POM water was a great discovery – might become a ritual, because it got me perked right up (AND it’s caffeine free). Naturally I still stopped at the ‘bucks on the way to work for the real deal. I packed… Read more >
