Great choice! Here's a fruit punch-style DIY Gatorade recipe—hydrating, tasty, and full of electrolytes:
2 cups (480 ml) water
1/4 cup (60 ml) 100% fruit punch juice
(or mix 2 tbsp pineapple juice + 2 tbsp cherry juice + 2 tbsp orange juice)
2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey (or sugar, adjust to taste)
1/8 teaspoon salt (preferably sea salt or Himalayan salt)
Optional: 1/8 teaspoon baking soda (for a bit more electrolytes)
Optional: Few drops of natural red food coloring (for that classic Gatorade red look)
Combine all ingredients in a shaker bottle or jar.
Shake well until everything dissolves.
Chill in the fridge or serve over ice.
Add a splash of coconut water for natural potassium.
For longer workouts, double the salt to replenish more sodium.
Add a slice of orange or lime for a fresh punch twist.
