Request: Homemade Gatorade Recipe
Archived on 07/31/2009
I was talking to a friend today and she said her hubby only drank water and Gatorade, but complained that Gatorade was too high to buy. I told her I'd see if anyone knew how to make a good substitute for it. Surely there's someone with a recipe. Thanks in advance. Sharon, KY

RE: Homemade Substitute for Gatorade
Recipe: Gatorade
- 1 package unsweetened Kool Aid (any flavor)
- 2 quarts water
- 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup orange juice
Mix together, this equals the electrolyte replacement found in many popular drinks on the market.
Great for hot summer.

We just buy the powdered Gatorade (or even the store brand). Even the name brand is much less expensive than purchasing it in bottles. My husband even likes it less than full "strength" so it's even cheaper to make. (08/10/2005)

Here is a very simple and very good recipe for MYO Gatorade
- 1 pkg Kool-aid, flavor of your choice
- 8 tbs sugar
- 3/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp potassium chloride (Nu-Salt)
- 8 cups warm water
Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Cool and serve.
We make this and pour into old Gatorade bottles. It's quite good. (08/12/2005)

To make one quart:

Mix together and enjoy. The trace mineral drops will provide all you need for the day. (01/19/2009)

All right it takes 1 can of orange juice, 2 Tbsp. of lemon, 1 Tbsp. of lime, 3/4 tsp. salt, then water. This is for 2 liters or 10 Tbsp. of sugar and 3/4 tsp Morten lite salt. This is funny and one Kool aid packet of your choice for flavor, then water. This is also for 2 liters. and you are very welcome. (02/06/2009)
