Bake and Cook with Mingo Gold
In addition to Mingo, NVC also manufactures Mingo Gold. Just like Mingo, it’s packed with nutrients from mung beans and moringa. However, Mingo Gold has additional health benefits from brown rice, malabar spinach (alugbati), jute leaves, orange kamote, mango, buttermilk and skimmed milk! Try both flavors: original and chocolate. Just add water to make a quick porridge for breakfast.
Although Mingo Gold is a meal in itself, it can also be added to dishes to enhance their nutritional value. Top ice cream, cappuccino or steamed milk with a sprinkling of Mingo Gold for a delicious treat!
Use Mingo Gold in your favorite recipes for baked goods for healthier snacks. Add a spoon to of Mingo Gold to cookie batter or try our yummy Nutri-Packed Oatmeal Cookies! The recipe is at the back of every pack of Mingo Gold.
Mingo Gold is also a great addition to savory dishes! One customer told us that her daughter loves pasta or french fries tossed in Mingo Gold.
A group of friends shared that they challenged each other to eat healthy and they did it the easy way: by adding Mingo Gold to their meals. Their latest concoctions can be seen in the photos on the right croquettas, shrimp and chorizo adlai, and adlai paella—all made nutritious by the addition of Mingo Gold!

Make Boxed Brownies Better
A box of brownie mix is a great pantry staple to have on hand. With just a few easy tweaks, you can take this humble dessert to the next level! Inspired by a video of chefs making boxed brownies better, we decided to give a batch of brownies the Mingo Gold touch!
Procedure:
Use your favorite brownie mix. Prepare the batter according to package instructions but add in 1/4 teaspoon instant decaf powder and 2 tablespoons Mingo Gold. Stir in your favorite add-ins such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit. We used 1/4 cup peanut butter chips and 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips. Bake as usual and allow to cool before devouring.
The Verdict:
We were really happy with how this experiment turned out! You’d never guess that healthy ingredients such as malunggay and orange kamote were baked into these rich and fudgy brownies! Mingo Gold is an excellent way to give your favorite baked treats a nutri-boost!
We’re cooking up something!
Watch out for our Mingo Cookbook coming out later this year!
