Mindin' My Mommin' with Maty's

This post is sponsored by Maty’s but all opinions are based upon my own experiences. Thank you for sharing this post and supporting brands that make this blog possible.

I may say it a lot, but finding products that you seriously trust for your little one can be a challenge. When you know better, you want to do better and I’m definitely that mom! During these winter months, obviously, colds are inevitable, and I have to know that anything I’m using to treat my little David is natural, organic, and full of wholeness. Maty’s Healthy Products is helping me to do just that.

Maty’s mission is simple: To give us mamas only pure, all natural, and organic alternatives to traditional medication for treating our children. At any time, you can pick up any Maty’s product and have confidence that you will recognize all ingredients since Maty’s focuses on treatment with whole food health alternatives. That’s right! Since it’s made primarily of honey and other whole food ingredients you can literally add Maty’s cough syrup to any recipe for your little one and use it the same way you’d use honey or maple syrup!

Maty’s products are distinct and they make it clear as to why they are particularly different than any other brand of treatment products for children. Every spoonful contains 10 powerful immune boosters. This means your little will be getting everything packed with the good stuff he or she needs to get back to themselves. Maty’s also never, ever uses petrolatum, phthalates, parabens, mineral oils, artificial fragrances or colors, or sulfates.

Did you know that the label on products that reads “natural flavors” means that they can still actually contain up to 100 different ingredients to make up one of those “natural flavors”? Well, I didn’t, and this was a complete shock to me! Maty’s promises to use only pure lemon oil for flavor and natural essential oils for fragrances, so you know what you’re getting!

You know what makes me love Maty’s even more?  They are committed to giving back to the community. Maty’s is on a mission to improve the health of people all across the world, so a percentage of every single sale goes to Vitamin Angels to help improve the lives of over 61 million children!  I love a brand that believes in the power of giving. Don’t you?

Now, let’s get to the really great part. Below, I’m sharing a fun recipe using Maty’s Children’s Cough Syrup, which I know you and your munchkin(s) will absolutely love!
