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. ;)

vegan chocolate chip cookies!
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with veggies. SO GOOD!
Vegan banana bread with chocolate chips.. it’s so hard to resist!
Kale. I eat it every day, in a smoothie or salad, sauteed or crisped in the oven. So versatile and so tasty. EAT MORE KALE.
Definitely avocados and kale.
My guilty vegan indulgence? Cocoluscious ice cream, the mexican chocolate and the choc chip cookie dough flavours are amazing!!
Roasted brussel sprouts!!!! I eat ’em like candy!!!!!
One of my favorite vegan foods is the raw pizza at Raw in Chicago. It seriously NEVER gets old.
Popcorn with nutritional yeast!
I am just starting to experiment with eating vegan as it’s a good transition to my not eating dairy – I am a fan of your squash cheese sause but that is not packaged….. polenta… if packaged – can use for breakfast, lunch or dinner and it’s the completely perfect blank canvas!
Vegan lentil walnut loaf!
Oh my, I don’t know if I can pick a favorite! I guess if I have to, today I’ll say vegan pizza with lots of veggies!
So many choices… but I have to go with vegan curry! So versatile and filling and delicious.
This is a great give away, it’s awesome to see everyone else’s favorite foods as well :)
Give me a green monster, any day! I would love to get my hands on some of those macaroons!
I have to say brown rice krispie treats….I loved them as a kid and actually always had rice krispie treats as my birthday cake growing up so when I became vegan and found this recipe I was thrilled : ) They are delicious and addictive !!
My favorite vegan food right now: pomegranates. Hey they’re definitely vegan I’m obsessed, so it should count! Of course, I’m a huge fan of Babycake’s NYC Red Velvet Cupcake. Check it out while you’re there if you can!
. . . your lemon-tahini-garlic-nutritional yeast dressing. I make it all the time and eat it on everything!
I’ve only just begun exploring the vegan world so I don’t have favorites yet. This giveaway would be great for me to taste!
those chocolate macaroons look/sound amazing – think that will be my new favorite vegan treat!!! :-D
yum! I wish we had such places here in Australia.
One of my favourite vegan foods is raw cheesecakes, heathy, full of good fats, easy and quick! its also a great ice breaker into showing people vegan (even raw) food is delish!
