How to Make a Slushie with Gatorade Endurance Formula Watermelon Flavor

6/21/2018

Here's another way to stay hydrated this summer. Turn your Gatorade Endurance Formula powder into a refreshing slushie. It's super easy and worth it.

Ingredients

Gatorade Endurance Formula Thirst Quenching Powder in Watermelon
Crushed Ice
Water

Directions

Stir water and watermelon mix together in your hydration bottle until dissolved. I use a 16 oz bottle with 2 scoops of watermelon powder.
Crush your ice in a processor or blender until you have small pieces.
Optional: Add fresh (seeded) watermelon and blend on high for 10 seconds. Stop and stir with a spoon. Blend again if needed.*
Pour the crushed ice into your hydration bottle. Shake well, or stir.

*I like to keep a few bigger ice chunks so it lasts longer on my run.

Pouring Gatorade powder into hydration bottle

Mix Gatorade Endurance Formula powder and water in your hydration bottle. Stir well.

Put a glassful of ice into a processor.

Process until ice is slushie size.

If you like, add watermelon to the crushed ice and blend again.

Happy Hydrating!

The new watermelon flavor is so good. I have to admit turning it into a slushie makes it feel more like a treat than responsible hydrating. The truth is, it's both!

Here are some fun facts about Gatorade Endurance Formula Powder:

300 mg of sodium
140 mg of potassium
90 calories
22 g carbs

There are NO artificial flavors. I love the new lighter taste. It's less sweet, which I like a lot. The watermelon Endurance Formula is available at Gatorade.com right now. It will be in stores soon.

Have You Tried Gatorade Endurance Gels?

Gatorade Endurance Formula Energy Gels come in 4 flavors.

If you prefer gels over powder, check out Endurance Formula Energy Gels.

Gatorade expanded it's taste palete. I was already a fan of blackberry, vanilla, and apple pear flavors. Now I'm loving the mango, too.

You can get these online or in your favorite sports store. They're not sticky or gooey. The formula is more liquid than traditional gels. It's easy to swallow on the run or during a race. The carbs, sodium, and potassium will keep you fueled!

Wonderful Watermelon Gatorade

Nothing says Summer like watermelon! I love, love, love watermelon. That's why I feel lucky to test the brand new Gatorade Endurance Formula "Thirst Quenching Powder." It's coming to your town soon.

If you're an endurance athlete, or any kind of athlete, who is working out this summer, give it a try. It has a lighter, LESS sweet taste than regular Gatorade. That makes it a winner for me. (I usually cut traditional Gatorade in half with water.)

Besides a better taste, the Endurance Formula has more sodium and potassium than the regular Gatorade. It's really, truly, perfect for long runs and fueling in the heat of summer. The extra sodium and potassium are going to protect you from muscle cramps, people!

I was so excited about the new watermelon flavor I made this video:

Gatorade Endurance is #FormulatedForFarther

The Endurance Formula has 2 times more sodium, and 3 times more potassium than traditional Gatorade.

Here are the stats for a 12 ounce serving:

90 calories
310mg sodium
140mg potassium
22g carbohydrates

You can also get #GatoradeEndurance powder in Lemon-Lime, Orange, and Cherry. I've tried all the flavors, and like them. But I think I'm staying with Watermelon for my summertime workouts!

Check it out at Gatorade.com/endurance and get yourself some.

Mmmm! Mango Endurance Engergy Gel

Gatorade Endurance didn't stop their summer flavor fest with watermelon. Nope. There's Mango Energy Gel in the Endurance Formula, too.

I first tried the Gatorade Endurance Energy Gel during a half marathon. I lost my fuel on course. I needed fuel at mile 9 and didn't have any option other than to try something brand new. It turned out to be A-Okay.

The endurance energy gels are much lighter than other gels. More fluid and less sticky. Less sugary, too. And the flavors are fantastic. It was easy to swallow late in a race. No issues with an upset stomach, either.

I've used these gels ever since I found them on course. I really like the Vanilla, Apple Pear, and Blackberry. And now my mood is Mango!

Again, the endurance formula is good for long runs, hikes, biking, etc. Each pouch contains:

20 mg of carbohydrate
90 calories
100 mg sodium
35g potassium

I hope you'll give them a try. If you're looking for endurance fuel that has a lighter taste, I recommend these. You can get all the awesomeness at Gatorade.com/Endurance or your local sports store.
