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. ;)

Raw granola–YUM
raw vegan macaroons sound aMAZING!
The kale from Rosetta’s Kitchen in Asheville, NC! I’ve re-created it at home and now have it about 2+ times per week. :) It’s so simple… Bragg’s, garlic, onions, olive oil… but SO good! xo
Chocolate avocado pudding!
Favorite vegan food…man that’s hard, there are so many great things. I think I’ll choose nutritional yeast because since I’ve discovered it, and what it can do for flavoring dishes of all kinds, it’s changed everything!! :)
What a great giveaway, thanks for your generosity!
One of my favorite vegan foods is lentil soup with veggies :) Mainly b/c I love soup & I love trying to be creative! Comes out a little bit different every time.
I’d love to try these Lucky Duck snacks!
I’d have to say that my favorite vegan food these days is my butternut squash soup. I’ve been tweaking it to perfection and hoarding butternut squash for the last couple months.
This giveaway sounds wonderful!
Warm Sweet Potato and Black Bean Salad with a red peppers and cilantro jalepeno vinaigrette, delish!
Some of my favorite vegan foods are desserts – Normal ones hurt my belly!
ANYTHING with avocado!
I have heard so much about this place–hoping to win. I would have to say I like a bean burrito with brown rice and all the fixins!!!!!!!
I love your vegan overnight oats! Your VOO recipes have changed my breakfast life and also the banana soft serve! who knew you could do that w/ frozen bananas!!!
It’s pretty boring, but I have an intense love for and addiction to…hummus. Especially with Mary’s Gone Crackers original crackers. Enjoy the rest of your time in NY!
Indian food, om nom nom!
My favorite vegan food as of late is this DELICIOUS homemade cookie butter I found on another blog that I have been making since I have a bunch of empty glass jars laying around !! hehehe Would LOVE to try these macaroons though !!!
hummus and kale chips would have to be my favorite vegan foods :)
I’ve been trying to eat more vegan foods and so far I love any vegan dessert, especially macaroons. Beans and lentils are also a favorite.
Definitely Macaroons :)
At the moment, it is chocolate cake with white frosting. Every time I taste it I am again amazed at how wonderful cruelty free food is. For a staple, I have to say tahini – I feel like I am having an affair with it sometimes.
Vegan Mac ‘n Cheese is definitely my favorite vegan food!! That and kale chips :).
yummers!
