Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cold Gatorade (any flavor)
  • 2–2½ cups ice
  • 1 tsp lemon or lime juice (optional)

Instructions

  • Pour cold Gatorade into the blender first.

  • Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use cold Gatorade for best slushie texture
  • Add ice gradually to avoid overloading the blender
  • Do not over-blend or the slushie will melt
  • Crushed ice creates a smoother texture
  • Best enjoyed immediately after blending
  • For low-sugar versions, substitute Gatorade Zero
