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.

AM in the PM (and AM too)

What could be better than a day full of ALL breakfast food! I heart breakfast food the most…I had a yummy cup of joe with a vanilla organic probiotic soy yogurt. This brand was so/so. I bought a few different brands of soy yogurt the other day to try them out, but I don’t know if I am going to like them…so far I have liked 1 of the 3 (not the best average).

Then I dug right into the soynut butter…I put it on EVERYthing I could get my hands on (including spoons by themselves).

i need green

Sooo, I had to work this Saturday. Working weekends is usually kinda a bummer…but today was slow, so I didn’t really mind. I guess the crashing economy affects heart surgery too? I made my lunch the night before, and I tried something new. We were out of lettuce, and since I hate sandwiches that don’t have greens, I had to make do with what we did have. I used the remaining green peppers left over from the quiche and broccoli. Then I put the smart deli turkey on top of that. The sando was MASSIVE…. Read more >

brrr…i heart comfort food

So, the weather here has definitely changed. It is cold. No two ways about it. And yet, I still found it in me to start off the day with iced coffee? Plus vanilla silk soy milk. I am thinking I should just start investing in bigger silk cartons, since it has been established this will be a staple in my diet. Who am I kidding, this isn’t just a phase…Here’s the iced coffee + silk soy milkFor breakfast I had some dried fruit (the rest of the papayas, I finished the pineapples a while ago)…. Read more >
