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 woke up to another day of ick weather. It’s so hard to get excited for the day when you know it’s going to be spent mostly indoors. But then I found a surprise PACKAGE at the door!!! What could it be…?? The wonderful people over at I.M. Healthy sent me my FAVE soynut butter, both creamy AND chocolate flavors! I LOVE this stuff!! Since you all have been asking about soynut butter, now you can see this amazing product, and go out and get it, to try it first hand. It’s the perfect combination… Read more >

I love Will Ferrell. After yesterday’s mega sleep in, today I was back to the same routine…I had the day off, but still woke up early. I read in bed for a bit, but soon enough, my stomach said “feed me,” so I obliged with a steamy cup of joe and toasted Ezek english muffin with Earth Balance melted and lathered on to the max. A repeat of yesterday, with soy milk and my new SF vanilla syrup. This picture reminds me of snow white…I feel like I’m the witch offering a poisoned apple. … Read more >

I literally was craving brekkie foods all day…so why fight it. I had today off from work (finally), so I allowed myself to sleep in and it felt great!! Normally when I work, I have to wait to take my lunch break until my patients are stable, which sometimes isn’t until well after noon, so I end up going HOURS between my AM starbucks loading and my PM lunch (hence the need for my daily odwalla bars). Anyways, the point I am getting at, is that after working several days in a row, I miss… Read more >

…is carob 🙂 I definitely went overboard with the carob today – it’s just SO good, I can’t help it. Whatever. It’s healthy, right? It’s all veggiegirl’s fault! Honestly, if I ever got my hands on a bag of carob chips (like Erin did) lord help me! Heading in to work on Monday morning was a little depressing. Everyone else is on DAY 3 of the weekend, but I’m on DAY 3 of WORKING…I know my work schedule generally rocks, so I shouldn’t be complaining, but it’s still sad when I know everyone else is… Read more >

All day long I was fantasizing about tonight’s dinner. Kyle and I had plans for a night out on the town to meet in the West Village after I got off work to try out a vegan restaurant called Gobo. The menu looked unbelievable, so I was basically salivating all day in anticipation. But first, I had to get through a day of work. For some reason I was starving way more than usual today…then I remembered an article I read in Shape mag, which made me feel better (apparently pre-red tent time it’s common… Read more >
