Gatorade Slushie

This Gatorade slushie is made by freezing flavored sports drink and then crushing it into a icy, textured treat. The mixture transforms from liquid to a semi-frozen, colorful slush with a refreshing and slightly chewy texture, perfect for hot days. Its vibrant appearance makes it as visually appealing as it is cooling.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Gatorade or flavored sports drink any flavor

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Blender or food processor
  • Rubber spatula or spoon

Method
 

  1. Pour the Gatorade into a shallow, freezer-safe container to help it freeze evenly. Place it in the freezer and let it chill for at least 2 hours or until fully frozen.
  2. Once frozen solid, remove the container from the freezer. Break the frozen Gatorade into smaller chunks with a spoon or spatula for easier processing.
  3. Add the frozen chunks to a blender or food processor. Pulse several times to start breaking the ice, then process until the mixture becomes slushy and textured, resembling a fine snow or crushed ice consistency.
  4. Check the texture; it should be soft, icy, and slightly chunky. If needed, add a bit more Gatorade and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
  5. Scoop the slushie into glasses using a spoon or spatula, creating a colorful, textured serving base.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, and enjoy the icy, flavorful treat on a hot day.

Notes

For a smoother texture, process the frozen chunks longer. You can also experiment with different Gatorade flavors for varied colors and tastes.
