PLEZi Nutrition is the latest chapter in a journey I’ve been on for years.
As a mom and as First Lady, I've seen how critical good nutrition is at all stages of development. It’s why I’ve spent so many years working to help families lead healthier lives. But l've also learned that if you want to change the game on this issue, you have to change the food and beverage industry itself. That’s what we’re doing with PLEZi Nutrition, and it’s why I’m proud to serve as Co-Founder and Strategic Partner.
We’re a Public Benefit Company that’s working to drive the kind of positive change that I’ve always hoped to see — and set higher standards for how we make and market food and drinks along the way.
Our initial focus is on beverages because that’s where so much added sugar is consumed. While water is always the best, PLEZi is a great option for those moments where you want something else. Our drinks not only significantly reduce sugar and sodium, they include more nutrients than other leading options—and they’re delicious, too!
Still, we know that changing the industry isn’t about a few drinks or even one company. We need everyone — business, government, nonprofits, and folks like you — to come together and create the better, more nutritious options that so many of us are looking for.
I hope you’ll join us and give PLEZi products a try—and don’t forget to tell us what you think!
