The Power Rangers Power Blast juice drinks are now available in the refrigerated juice sections at Walmart locations nationwide and HEB stores across Texas in six-packs of juice boxes for only $2.99, making it comparably priced with other juice box brands.

Since the debut of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in 1993, the Power Rangers have been role models for generations of children. Through the Power Rangers emPOWER movement, the Rangers from the #1 kids' action series Power Rangers Samurai, are teaching kids and families how to put the Power Rangers values of teamwork, confidence, health and physical activity into action. Developed in partnership with leaders in children's services, this initiative has successfully been activated in more than 5,000 school programs nationwide as well as online and at live events. Just as the Power Rangers use teamwork to solve a different challenge in every episode, Power Rangers emPOWER provides parents and community leaders the tools they need to work together to grow healthy kids. "Saban Brands continues to develop and expand its product offering to include items that help kids stay active and make healthy choices, like drinking these juice boxes, while reinforcing  our continued efforts to promote  positive Ranger values," said Elie Dekel, President of Saban Brands.
