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.
So, today’s breakfast must have been subconsciously inspired by the Superbowl, since I had a super bowl of oats followed by another super bowl of soy yogurt with figs and raisins. I think Bob’s Red Mill is my fave brand of oats now. They are so fluffy, despite being “quick” oats. I added in creamy peanut butter, carob covered raisins, and vanilla soy milk. Carob covered raisins are amazing to add in to oats because they melt and you are left with a bowl of raisins along with a slight “chocolate” flavoring to your oats. … Read more >

blue sky + sun – clouds = snow? Wait. That can’t be right, can it? Apparently. I DON’T understand how this east coast weather works. Anyhoo, s’up kiddos! Today was a mill times better than yesterday. Thank you all for your sweet words of encouragement…lord knows I needed it today – heading in to work on the weekend (BOO). I decided to skip the ‘bucks this morning since I woke up earlier than I needed to and my stomach was relentlessly demanding “feed me.” I made my own cafe and silk-ed it up big time,… Read more >

In hindsight, I realize my January goals may have been a bit ambitious. I really did try to do a lot of them, so let’s see where I ended up. 1. Take my first yoga class (well, I did buy a yoga for dummies pamphlet and tried a class on exercise on demand TV) 2. Go to spinning class (yup, I heart spinning, I should really go more often) 3. Make my own sushi (oops, maybe next month…) 4. Dinner at Candle 79 with Jess (yup, although we went to Blossom instead) 5. Draw (yup)… Read more >

WDE. (I’m in a TLA mood). For those who aren’t too UTD… Translations: worst day ever, three letter acronym, up to date But in order to preserve my sanity I will do minimal venting here. Remember the same horrible co-worker I b$%^ched about a few months ago? Well, he’s AGAIN up to his evil, sly, scheming ways, and since his lazy apathetic nursing care was compromising the patients, I was forced to do my work AND his just to make sure certain people didn’t die. AHHHHHHHHH!!! I could have killed him. I have never sworn… Read more >

I woke with a tummy ache today :( so I started the day off with tea. I had the last of my Holiday Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea, so my second mug was blueberry green tea. I really like the sugar cookie tea, I’m going to have to get that one again. SO good. Then I had some toasted Alvarado street bread with peanut butter and cinnamon and stevia sprinkled on top. This bread is the best, and as we all know, peanut butter is the solution to everything IN LIFE, so I was… Read more >
