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.
The day flew by. My LAST day of 25 years old. I had a soy latte before work and an Iced Oatmeal Luna Bar in the morning. For lunch I had a sando (packed from the night before). Bread with sabra classic hummus, mustard, and smart tenders “chik’n tenders” (lemon and herb flavor). Normally I like some greens in my sando, but then it would have been so fat, I wouldn’t have been able to take a bite. Way fat! I also had raisins and an apple…then a coffee for the road (only 5 more… Read more >

Yes, the days are dwindling…I will soon be on my own, saving lives. Work was work. I did manage to make it to the gym after 12 hours of slaving away. I had a Bruno’s coffee (NOT sbucks!?) with a min amount of leche…I’m gonna try to reduce the $$ this week…and then for lunch I had a sando (seen below). A Street cali style bread with lettuce, smart deli turkey, mustard and hummus. Can’t go wrong with classic…never fails. My gym workout was kinda weak to be honest, but the important thing is I… Read more >

Well, I have been pretty bad about blogging, that’s a given… I think it is safe to say that I am going to be playing catch up for a few weeks! I have been good about taking photos, but that’s about it. So here goes nothing… Kyle and I were in Boston for the 18th and 19th, which was great. I have never been so I wanted to see it all. The most noteworthy thing for my foodie blog was the dinner we went to on Sat night called Top of the Hub which was… Read more >

INTRODUCING……the caffe froth! This little baby is worth an entire blog entry! All you do is add milk to the line (approx 1/3 cup) and give it a few pumps up and down (insert nasty joke here) and VIOLA!…you end up with this perfect frothy foamy creamy delicious milk. It is truly amazing. Then you can heat it up afterwards and it still retains the froth! I felt like a barista! I can’t use enough exclamation points to express how cool this appliance is. I would recommend it to EVERYone. Look how much foam in… Read more >

I would devote a whole wing of my mansion to be a starbucks…OR I would hire a starbucks barista to follow me around with a fully stocked coffee cart…I’m not sure why, but their coffee just tastes better in the store. I can’t make anything that’s even close in comparison! So it goes without saying that my morning started off with a fatty venti soy latte. I worked with my fav girlies today, so work was awesome. The unit was FULL so since there were 3 of us, we each had 3 patients. It was… Read more >
