water, salt, sugar, ice from a glacier (although any frost will make for an acceptable substitute), blue food coloring.
that's it.

just buy the big tubs of powdered gatorade. they cost like 6 dollars and last forever.

too bad it tastes like absolute shit.

>>6751869
Just make some Kool aid and add electrolyte tablets and shit idk. I'm monitoring the thread tho, I drink this shit way too often

>>6751869
Water, salt, sugar, whatever flavoring you want.

does it actually taste that much worse than regular gatorade? i've always considered buying the powder, but not if it tastes really different.

if you're drinking so much gatorade your shit is changing colour you should stop drinking gatorade

>worried about the dye
>not worried about the soda-like sugar content
Your priorities are on track

>>6751923
its exactly the fucking same if you use the correct ratio of powder to water. christ.

Is it bad that I want to try welfare Gatorade now?

You people suck, man up and drink a solution of pic related STRAIGHT!

....are you trying to get electrolytes

if so, just drink tomato juice. like 17% DV potassium and 25% DV sodium. leagues above gatorade in electrolyte replenishment.

or if you want something sweeter, coconut water. as much potassium as tomato juice (not sodium tho) and ultimately still better for you than gatorade

lol

well if you live a certain lifestyle(s) then yes, you do

Orange & Lemon-Lime are the only correct answers.

Perfect for when you have a stomach bug, and can't eat anything.

>you like gatorade?
>try tomato juice instead!
I know you offered a sweet option but this is killing me.

>>6754012

but why, the purpose of sports drinks is SUPPOSED to be to replenish lost electrolytes but gatorade and powerade contain negligible amounts of potassium and sodium. if you really need to re-balance before your heart gives out on you, tomato juice is extremely effective, cheap and low in calories.

>by glacial water
>freeze it

wa la.

Oh I agree. Gatorade is a shit imo. Your suggestion is like, what's a good drink similar to vodka redbull? Try an old fashioned!
It's a better option, just completely different from what OP is trying to drink. It's 5am I don't know

>>6751869
>don't know where to start
How about with the ingredients listed?
Gatorade Thirst Quencher contains water, sucrose (table sugar), dextrose, citric acid, natural flavor, sodium chloride (table salt), sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate, and flavoring/coloring ingredients.

Basically sugar and dextrose for sweetness, salt for electrolytes, and citric acid to mask the salt and give it that slightly sour taste. Citric acid can usually be found alongside canning supplies (i.e. Mason jars), and you can usually find dextrose in the baking aisle. Or like some other anon said earlier, dump some salt into kool aid.
