Obama will star alongside a pair of friendly puppets in the 10-episode food series that is designed to encourage kids to eat healthily.

"With the help of friendly new faces like the supermarket owner, Mrs. Obama... Waffles and Mochi blast off on global ingredient missions, traveling to kitchens, restaurants, farms and homes all over the world, cooking up recipes with everyday ingredients alongside renowned chefs, home cooks, kids and celebrities," reads the show's synopsis

According to Obama, she is working with Partnership for a Healthier America to "help kids build healthy habits and help families in need cook with fresh ingredients together at home." 

Healthy eating for children has always been a priority for Obama, as the former First Lady launched the Hunger-Free Kids Act under her husband's administration.

The show is produced by Obama herself and former president Barack Obama.

Waffles + Mochi will be the latest release from Higher Ground Productions — Barack and Michelle Obama's production company.
