Forget, Trump, Michelle Obama wants to take down Pepsi, Coca-Cola
Michelle Obama continues to go strong with her health-focused agenda even after serving as the First Lady of the U.S., which ended in 2017. During her time in the White House, the former first lady launched "Let's Move!," an initiative to raise a healthier generation of kids and fight obesity in the U.S. by promoting healthy eating habits and physical activity. Don't miss the move: SIGN UP for TheStreet's FREE Daily newsletter "This isn't just a policy issue for me. This is a passion. This is my mission.

Plezi Nutrition, co-founded by Mrs. Obama, announced the launch of a new, better-for-you sports drink, making it the company's third product launch since its inception in 2023. The new Plezi Hydration aims to be healthier than the rest to stand out among its strongest rivals. It contains about half the sugar and sodium, over seven times the potassium, and fewer calories than its competitors. To provide some variety and adapt to consumer's preferences, this new beverage is available in ready-to-drink 16.9-ounce bottles and comes in three different flavors: Lemon Lime, Tropical Punch, and Orange Mango Twist. Depending on their location, customers can purchase Plezi Hydration and all its other products on Amazon, Albertsons, Safeway, Walmart, and more.

It contains filtered water, pear, apple, and watermelon juice from concentrate, soluble vegetable fiber, citric acid for freshness, potassium citrate, natural flavors, vegetable juice color, sea salt, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), and stevia leaf extract.
