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.

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 >

day-o-sando(s)

Another day of work. Another home-made sandwich.You know the drill. Subway to work, starbucks run for an AM caffeine dose (grande soy latte), work work work work…Here’s the rest of what I packed for myself. The apple was HUGE which is why I sliced it (to enjoy in multiple sessions). With lunch I had a soy latte and then another refilled cup of plain soymilk. I (again) skipped the gym – this week is just NOT happening in the work out department! Instead, I had some dates and another soy latte on the way home… Read more >

holy BIPOLAR batman!

Some days I just don’t like my job. More on that later though. To start, I made my lunch last night. The normal sando 🙂 Plus, apple slices and a combo of raisins and yogurt covered raisins. I left for work early, headed to starbucks for my AM soy latte and before I could blink it was noon and I was barely under way with my work load. Seriously, I can’t put into words how insane all my patients were today. Thank goodness I got a venti this morning because I didn’t get to step… Read more >
