1. Pour the Gatorade into the blender, ensuring an even liquid layer at the bottom. This sets the flavorful base for your slushie.

4. Stop the blender and check the consistency; it should be thick and icy but scoopable with a spoon.
5. If needed, add a little more ice and pulse again until the perfect slushie texture is achieved.
6. Pour the Gatorade slushie into glasses, ensuring an inviting, colorful presentation.
