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.
FINALLY the day is here! We leave for Europe today!! Woohoo.Java load! Much needed since Kyle got back from Brazil at 6 in the morning, so I was up by 7. I have been basically clearing out the fridge, but this morning I had to suck it up and go out and get some food. I got a bag of grapes because they looked so good – plus, I figured if I didn’t finish them I could always freeze them (but, of course it didn’t come to that, since I clearly ate them all). I… Read more >

I am beyond words excited for this vacation. Only one more day! Coffee!! I went to the gym for an elliptical sesh. It was raining so I was kinda in a yuck mood. Basically, I just wanted to get my work out over with asap. I made some lunch after: soy noodles, edamame, teriyake flavored tofu **and JUST for some extra crunch I added Garden of Eatin’ tortilla chips on top Look at the multitasking going on here – crosswording while grubbing. Could life BE any better? Then I spent forever trying to catch up… Read more >

Peace out real world! I only have this last week of work and then we are off to Europe!! I am so excited, I will hardly be able to focus at work…I packed my lunch the night before: apple, odwalla bar (superfood flavor), raisins, and a big ‘ol sandwich.I’m trying to use up the last of things in the fridge before we go, which means I’m getting creative in my sandwich choices. Broccoli slaw (in lieu of lettuce), ff greek yogurt and mustard with smart deli “turkey” …and then more mustard (in an attempt to… Read more >

I woke up before my alarm went off at 9 am, but then once I turned on the light and the tv, I nodded back off right away. I kept waking up for brief seconds but just couldn’t seem to keep my eyes open. Finally, by 11 I dragged myself to the kitchen to start the coffee. I kinda overflowed my mug! (no design today) I did some housework while munching on strawberry o’soy yogurt and an apple for brunch. I still have a bunch of I’s to dot and T’s to cross before leaving… Read more >

Time for a new starbucks coffee blend – flavor flave!!! Today was my first taste of the serena organic blend. Quite good.Swirly froth that I enjoyed while watching an old episode of the view (yeah tivo). After 2 cups Uncle Matt called and we decided to meet up at Battery Park for the boat cruise to Liberty Island. I took the subway downtown to Chambers and walked the rest of the way along the water. I thought it was a good idea, but when I got west enough, I quickly realized the wind had a… Read more >
