5 Reviews of Homemade Gatorade

Just as a thought: much design and testing goes in to Gatorade product. The original product is meant to hydrate by matching the osmolarity of the cells in your body, therefore maintaining proper hydration levels. A homemade version may or may not be able to serve the same purpose, and may actually throw off the balance of sodium and potassium. Just food for thought....

I made this as written (using the listed ingredients, and not the alternates), and unfortunately nobody liked it. I am sorry to write a poor review - I do think this recipe is going in the right direction, but it needs some changes that I was unable to figure out.

I really like this recipe. The citric acid gives it just the right tang and I used corn syrup instead of granular fructose. The berry unsweetened koolaid gave it a great flavor and I believe I just saved at least $5.00

I tried this recipe with corn syrup and little bit more sugar than shown in the recipe.... and it actually turned out really really nice. I've been making a lot of this stuff lately. :D

My husband prefers the Gatorade "Rain" when we buy it at the store, so I have been using the measurements for the recipe as given but adding enough water to make a full gallon. It is very tasty, very close to the real thing, and we are saving at least $10.00 a week. I love this recipe!!!
