Method
- Pour the gatorade into a shallow, freezer-safe dish or tray to allow for even freezing.
- Place the dish in the freezer and let it freeze for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm but frozen through.
- Remove the frozen gatorade from the freezer and break it into smaller chunks with a spoon or spatula.
- Add the chunks to a blender and blend until smooth and icy, with a texture similar to a thick slush.
- Scrape down the sides of the blender if needed and continue blending until uniform in texture, resembling a frozen snow cone.
- Pour the slushie into glasses and serve immediately with a straw or spoon for a crunchy, icy experience.
