Obama is one of Plezi Fizz’s co-founders and wants to offer healthy drinks instead of sugary ones.
Plezi Fizz is made especially for kids six years and older. It tastes sweet but has much less sugar than regular drinks and sodas. Fiber and other important nutrients have been added to the drink. Plezi Fizz tries to be both tasty and good for you. It comes in fizzy flavors like strawberry lemonade, cherry limeade, and lemon-lime and in juice boxes with flavors like fruit punch, blueberry blast, orange smash, and apple smash.
