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”.
