Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (960 ml) Gatorade (fruit punch or lemon-lime recommended)
- Thin slices of fresh fruit (strawberries, lemons, or oranges) – optional
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup – optional
- Fresh mint leaves – optional
Instructions
- Chill the Gatorade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before starting.
- If desired, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup into the cold Gatorade and mix gently.
- Drop thin fruit slices or a few mint leaves into each popsicle mold, leaving enough room for the liquid.
- Using a ladle or measuring cup, fill each mold with the Gatorade mixture, leaving about a 1/4-inch (0.5 cm) space at the top.
- Insert sticks or lids onto the molds and place upright in the freezer.
- Freeze for at least 4–6 hours or overnight until completely solid.
- To unmold, briefly run warm water over the outside of the molds and gently pull on the sticks to release the popsicles.
Notes
For smoother popsicles, stir the Gatorade every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours of freezing to prevent large ice crystals. Use chilled Gatorade for faster freezing and better texture. Leave space at the top of molds to avoid overflow. Fresh fruit and mint add flavor and visual appeal but avoid overcrowding molds.
