WASHINGTON — PLEZi Nutrition, founded by former First Lady Michelle Obama, is launching a sports hydration beverage line in collaboration with National Basketball League player Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha. PLEZi Hydration is available in three flavors: lemon lime, tropical punch and orange mango twist.
Each beverage is formulated with 120 mg of sodium, 500 mg potassium and 12 grams of sugar.
“At PLEZi, we’re always thinking about how we can change the game when it comes to nutrition,” Obama said. “That’s why we’re thrilled to team up once again with our longtime friend, Stephen Curry, to create a drink that gives active people the hydration they need — and reduces what they don’t. Created with the help and expertise of registered dietitians, PLEZi Hydration not only tastes great, but it also has more potassium, half the sugar, and less sodium. We’re excited to provide a delicious, healthier option for everyone who’s trying to get active and stay hydrated.”
The beverages may be purchased for $2.29 per 16.9-oz bottle in California Walmarts, Albertsons, Safeways, Vons and Pavilions locations, or online at Amazon.com.
