I had my first One Lucky Duck experience in NYC after hearing so many good things about it over the past few years. One Lucky Duck was founded in 2005 by Sarma Melngailis, the co-creator of the Manhattan raw food restaurant, Pure Food and Wine. Sarma started One Lucky Duck to help bring the raw, vegan and organic lifestyle out of the underground and into the mainstream.
At One Lucky Duck, you can find all kinds of amazing raw vegan snacks from raw macaroons to chocolate chip cookies, handmade in small batches in the kitchen at NYC’s raw vegan restaurant, Pure Food and Wine.
We visited the Chelsea Market location and I was so excited to step inside this cafe!
We did all kinds of NYC sightseeing on this day of our travels, so the market was a nice change of pace after rushing around all day.
I bashfully asked the server if I could snap a picture or two. I don’t know about you other bloggers, but I get shy when I take pictures of food…!
It’s a really cute & cozy cafe. All of their products are on the wall including a fridge for fresh juices and whatnot. I got myself a few goodies (macaroons, raw chocolate, and buckwheat crispies) and a shot of wheatgrass for good measure.
It was hard to choose! I’ve somehow managed to open everything over the past few days and everything tastes incredible. I especially fell in love with the buckwheat cinnamon crispies (below). Maybe I can make these at home too? It’s on my list. ;)

my favourite vegan food is absolutely the vegan peanut butter cups in the Kind Diet. mmmmm delish!
Wow… I think I have too many to pick from. You can’t go wrong with granola and almond milk. But anything with tofu usually does it for me too :)
I love chocolate chip cookies!!
My favorite vegan food is the tortilla soup from the Happy Herbivore cookbook!!
My favorite vegan food has to be mango coconut sorbet! I just take mangoes, dice ’em up, freeze ’em, put them in a food processor with organic shredded coconut and bam! The most delicious (and easy!) food ever! :D
Currently my favourite vegan food is a toss up between your Vegan Mac & Cheese or Skinny B cereal with soy milk and raspberries!
Avocados all the way!!
Kale in every variation. Nooch and red pepper kale chips, miso ginger dressed kale salad, deep green kale smoothie… Mmm kale!
My favorite Vegan foods are all sweets! OSG Chocolate Torte (OMG!!), Green smoothies, VOO – to name a few that I relish in!
Ooooo this is a delicious giveaway! Recently my favorite vegan food is raw lasagna! Live Food Bar and Rawlicious both make really different raw lasagnas and I love them both. Its on my list of things for make once the weather heats up a bit.
CHOCOLATE AVACADO CUPCAKES!! NOMS
Spicy hummus! Which I’m making right now, BTW. Mmm, I can never add enough cumin, garlic or Hungarian paprika. But after reading about you buying smoked paprika in NYC, I’m wondering how yummy that would taste in hummus…
I just discovered Field Roast sausages – I didn’t know we had them in Canada. And they are amazing!
Love to try. Please pick me!
Sorry, forgot to add kale chip are my absolute fav!
Vegan shephard’s pie. It is so good that we are making it for a non-vegan potluck holiday party.
Its hard to choose just one but lately I’ve been loving Rythem Superfoods kale “chips” unfortunately I can only find them at whole foods and they are quite pricey for a small bag. Would love to be able to try all the goodies in the give-away box!!
I hope I’m the Lucky Duck!! I have so many favorite Vegan Recipes from your blog, it’s hard to pick one… but I think I have to go with the Lightened Up Protein Power Goddess Bowl! Yumm!
My favorite vegan food is some tempeh sloppy joes that I make…they are delicious! I’ve even served them to my vegan- and vegetarian-food-fearful brother who ate a whole one without realizing they were completely vegan! Your green monster smoothies quickly became a staple in my diet, too. Thank you!
My favourite vegan food is probably pierogies or chocolate chip cookies. There are too many to choose from!
