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. ;)

The invention of coconut-based foods has made me not miss dairy products at all! So I’d have to go with coconut butter… or coconut ice cream… yummmm!!!
My Pumpkin Black Bean Enchiladas :) !
Vegan sweet: granola + soy milk = crack!
Vegan savory: FALAFEL. ‘Nuff said.
Vegan everyday: green monsters, get in my belly!
I love your butternut squash mac and cheeze…yum!
Whoa holy generosity, Angela! I’m so jealous of your trip! It looks like you guys are having the best time.
My favorite vegan food is probably Mexican chocolate snickerdoodles from “Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar.” I love them. Oh! Or Ashley’s pumpkin-spiced almond butter. I love that stuff. OH! And your butternut squash mac and cheese. Yummmmy.
But hands down my favorite vegan product is Daiya. Looove it.
Okay, no I’m hungry.
Great giveaway! My favorite vegan food is a green monster smoothie!
Your addictive, scrumptious cashew chocolate chip cookie bits!! YUMMY!!
Pear, fig & sage tarts with garlic aioli from Spork Foods!
I made a delicious vegan pumpkin loaf for Thanksgiving, I love to try new vegan recipes. Winning this Lucky Duck prize pack would definitely be yummy and full of inspiration.
Thanks very much for the contest Angela :) Hope you guys are having a great holiday!
My favourite vegan food – anything Indian, and most of your recipes. :)
Still anxious to try vegan nutella. That will be my favorite vegan food. But regular ole asparagus will generally do.
Kale chips, hands down! They are just as addicting, and in my opinion, taste way better than potato chips.
Thanks Angela for all the great giveaways you do!
This is such an awesome giveaway! It’s so hard to choose, but I think my favorite vegan food would be kale chips. I can literally eat an entire head of kale at a time when it’s in chip form. :)
I love vegan pumpkin pasta! Absolute favorite.
It’s hard to just pick one! One of my top favorite vegan foods is a green monster :P
I hope I’m the lucky duck here… one my favorite vegan foods is dried fruit (unsweetend mangoes in particular)!
A really simple one – but any vinaigrette based coleslaw. I love raw cabbage.
Vegan lasagna. :)
I became vegan very recently (3 months!) and my family joined me, including our 2-yr-old and 4-yr old kids! Our favorite is rustic sourdough bread and eggplant lasagna. Yummmmm~
Definitely the seitan nachos at Caravan of Dreams in NYC. . .”pigging out” on these is good on so many levels!
