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.

48 hours (more or less)

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 >

cleaning out the fridge

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 >

the perfect day

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 >

out on the town

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 >

economic recession, not so much!

Rise and shine, my Uncle Matt is in town. I woke up early-ish to get a few things done before the day got too far along. Actually, that’s a lie, Kyle got up early and dragged me out of bed with him. So I watched while he did laundry, made coffee, and went to the store for milk (oops, ran out last night curbing my hummus/bread late night fiesta). I’m so lucky to have such a fabulous boyfriend. I do my best to pull my weight, making him dinners on my days off, etc. but… Read more >
