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 actually woke up with a hop in my step today – how weird is that? At 5 am?! On a work day?! That’s not even normal for a morning person…let alone me. I think it’s because I wanted to be over my cold SOOO badly, I was trying to will it to happen. I felt a little better, still way sick, but at least I could walk to work without getting out of breath. I had a glass of tea before I left (this NEW kind). Green tea with acai and pomegranate…so good. Hopefully,… Read more >

Top of the morning! Well, this morning I woke up because I couldn’t breathe (nose clogged, throat sore). Not the best way to start the day. The good news was that I could buy the new B Spears cd (hooray for healthy Britney) and enjoy it during breakfast. Since I am mega sick, I thought I would give my body a big breakfast to fight off the infection (I am supposed to work tomorrow). I’m not a big breakfast person, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I finished a lot of containers this morning… Read more >

I’m SOOOO sick. I am all runny, and sniffly…I can’t stop sneezing and my throat feels like I’m swallowing sandpaper. Looks like today is going to be a Vitamin C loaded day…I’m thinking soup in mass quantities.I actually only had about half this mug because I kept having coughing fits after each sip. Kyle came home for lunch, yea!! He had some of the vegan stuffing I made for thanksgiving and LOVED it. Success for me! For my lunch I had creamy butternut squash soup. 2 and a half bowls…so good, and perf for my… Read more >

Sunday already? Wow, the weekend flew by, considering I did nothing all day Saturday. Again I slept in, and again I started the am with coffee topped off with ff foamy milk (gotta love the caffe froth)! I really like foam. For brunch I made an egg (beater) scramble with more tofu from the whole foods hot food bar. Quite a success if I say so myself. I actually think tofu and eggs are one of the greatest food combos (like pb+j). It was a really good protein-y start to the day.A few hours later,… Read more >

My patients are trying to make me FAT!!! Look at all the shit below. I have been collecting all the presents from my patients and their families in my locker for a while now, and I finally just brought it all home (since my locker was overflowing with candy). I still left mentos and lollipops behind though. Talk about an unhealthy work environment! How can I possibly resist all this delish crap? So, I will most likely cave now that I brought it home… So, I finally got to sleep in today. Hooray for weekends… Read more >
