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. ;)

I have to say, peanut butter is my favorite any kind of food, but also my favorite vegan food:-)
Your vegan date bars! They have changed my life. :)
All of the recipies that I’ve tried from your blog!! Oh so yummy!
Do I have to pick one??? My fave by far, and usually brekkie everyday, is a Green Monster! Followed by your veggie burger recipe and a tempeh pate from 30 day Vegan Challenge.
Transitioning to a vegan lifestyle has been pretty easy (and fun) thanks to blogs like yours!!!
My favorite treat is raw chocolate macaroons! Yum!
Love me some quinoa!
Kale chips!!
It may be boring, but I love Christmas (mandarin) oranges! They are better than candy :)
Hi Angela,
Thanks for the chance to win the Lucky Duck sampler! My favorite vegan foods…hmmm..love smoothies, salads and pasta. I found a great vegan banana muffin recipe that my kids and I love. Thanks for all thie ideas!:)
Avocado Creamy Pasta and peanut butter chocolate crispies from your website, yum!
My favorite vegan food has to be raw almond butter. Its slight sweetness is perfect for baking, oatmeal, yogurt, bread….or just for eating it straight from the jar. Delicious.
What an awesome giveaway, I’d love to try some of their goodies. My favorite would probably have to be roasted brussels sprouts. A light drizzling of olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice–perfect!
oh my gosh, peanut butter!!!
Your Peanut Butter, Jam, & Banana Breakfast Pizza!! Yum!!
My favourite vegan food is a pumpkin coconut soup that I make regularly. So velvety smooth with a hint of curry! It’s delicious, comforting and I feel so nourished after enjoying a bowl of this wonderful soup.
hard to choose – but i’d have to say roasted Brussels sprouts – can’t.get.enough. love ’em!!
Healthy Cookie Dough Dip made with dates, chickpeas, vegan choc chips, as well as some other odds and ends, is my current addiction!!!
I love fresh salsa and warm chips… bean tacos with lots of cilantro. You don’t miss the cheese! Your NYC posts are great. Makes me homesick. I love NY!
Green Monsters! I can’t image starting my morning without one!
*imagine :)
I think cooking with chia seeds and flax has been my favorite vegan discovery! Oh, and kale chips with nutritional yeast… :)
