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.

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.
