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. ;)

Leave a comment below telling me one of your favourite vegan foods and I’ll pick One Lucky Duck on Tuesday! Goodluck. :)
This contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.
My all time favorite vegan food has to be homemade pumpkin pie. Or anything with dark chocolate and sunflower butter. Yum! This is such a great giveaway!
I love oatmeal!!
my newest favourite vegan food is nutritional yeast, and THANK you for turning me on to it!
I just bought an entire cookbook that is completely for vegan macaroons! There are about 50 different flavors and I am loving experimenting with them :) Not to mention they all look so darn cute and pretty. I am thinking about making a bunch of different kinds this year to give away as Christmas gifts. They are so tasty no one would ever think they are completely vegan!
Favorite vegan food is oatmeal!
your fudge covered rice crispy treats!
without a doubt your flour less double chocolate cookies, omnomnomnom <3
I need a “random vegan food generator” for this because I have so many favorites. So I’ll choose Earth Balance butter… not something I’d eat on its own but I couldn’t live without it!
Peanut butter and almond milk :)
I am not a vegan but love trying vegan things…so far my favorites are your pumpkin mini donuts and coconut milk ice cream :)
I love quinoa, it’s become my staple to replace rice in most dishes but since reading your blog I’ve also been introduced to using tahini and nutritional yeast which is so yummy. Find so much inspiration from reading your recipes. Even though I am not a vegan I like to make at least one vegan meal a week to give my system a break from meat and dairy.
Vegan Food Saved My Life!!! I have had food allergies for most of my life and the displeasure of passing it on to my two children. I try my very best to keep things healthy. But we are junk food junkies at heart so Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies are a must in this house. I wish more people would give it a chance. Vegan is a better way to live period.
For salty vegan snacks I love kale chips- easy, healthy, and always hit the spot!
I also LOVE your veggie burgers!
My kids and I LOVE vegan pancakes and we also love your vegan butternut squash mac and cheese. Thank you for all your work. I look forward to reading your blog. Happy Holidays.
Love-love-love Pumpkin Chia “pudding”. It’s my go-to anytime healthy & delicious snack ;-)
My favorite vegan food is definitely anything Indian or Thai. As for snacks, I like rice and nut crisps.
My favorites by far are spinach banana smoothies and nutritional yeast “cheeze” sauce, yum!! (obviously not mixed together haha)
Most foods I like are vegan, but I’ll go with fruits/veggies and nut butters! And dark chocolate. :)
We’ll be your lucky duckies now that most of our kitchen/eating habits have been healthily transformed by none other than “Oh She Glows”
Since we probably won’t be in NY anytime soon, we would love to have you share some NY with this wonderful Sampler!!!!
Thank you for sharing your NY travels with us all! And cannot wait for your recreations from NY dining dishes!
I love just a good plate of roasted veggies. Also, loving homemade protein bars.
