Homemade Gatorade Recipes
Although there are tons of sports drinks out there on the market, I usually cannot find one that is right for me. I have a problem with a lot of these sports drinks because a lot of them pack too many Calories, use artificial flavors, taste gross, or are too expensive for what you get. I have found a personalize-able solution to this problem that should work for anybody! Here are some homemade Gatorade recipes that I came up with.
Low Calorie Fresh Homemade Gatorade
- 1 quart of cold water
- 1 lime (or 1 lemon or 1 orange)
- 1 tbsp of sugar
- 1 tbsp of honey
- 1 tsp of salt
- few ice cubes
Squeeze the lime/lemon/orange juice out into the 1 quart of water. Throw in the sugar, honey, salt, and then mix until every dissolves. Throw some ice cubes in there to get it super chilled (perfect aid during a rigorous workout).
High Calorie Fresh Homemade Gatorade
Just increase sugar and honey to your preferred taste. I usually don’t exceed more than 2 tbsp of sugar or honey.
Other Flavors
You can always substitute the lime, lemon, orange with a fruit juice of your choice or a packet of KoolAid. I wouldn’t recommend bottled juices or KoolAid though because it’s not really “fresh”.
