Which one is better and why...Gatorade or Powerade??
Answers:
Neither. My recipe is better then Gatorade or Powerade because it is less expensive and there are more flavor options. I have been making it for the past few years and the kids love it.
Homemade Sports Drink
Mix together and chill:
32 oz water
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 packet of unsweetened Kool-Aid? or Wyler’s? powder for flavoring
Optional: 1 tbsp lemon juice or 1/2 cup fruit juice. If using 1/2 cup fruit juice, reduce sugar to 3 Tbsp.
To make 20 oz: Use 2 1/2 Tbsp sugar, a generous 1/8 tsp salt and 1/4-1/3 packet of flavoring powder.
Comparison of Nutritional Content:
16 oz Gatorade?: 28 gm carbohydrate, 220 mg sodium, 60 mg potassium, 104 cals
16 oz homemade: 26 gm carbohydrate, 288 mg sodium, 40 mg potassium*, 100 cals
*1/2 cup fruit juice adds about 150-250 mg potassium.

powerade, there is just as many electrolytes, but not as much sugar.
Gatorade if you are a Pepsi loyalist.
Powerade if you are Coke fanatic.
