FAQs

Can I use a sugar substitute for this recipe?

Absolutely! While we recommend granulated options for the best texture, feel free to experiment with your favorite sugar substitute.

Can I prepare these slushies in advance and store them?

Unfortunately, Gatorade Slushies are best enjoyed right after blending. They tend to lose their slushie texture if stored for too long.

Are there any other electrolyte drinks I can use instead of Gatorade?

While Gatorade is the classic choice, any electrolyte-rich sports drink will do the trick. Feel free to explore different brands and flavors to find your favorite.

Notes

The sugar is very helpful in keeping the ice from seizing up. You don’t want that as it’s about impossible to drink that way. The sugar keeps the ice smooth, making it a perfect slushie.
You can use a sugar substitute, but go for granulated options if possible.
These cannot be made in advance and stored.
