Forget the store-bought stuff with dyes and ingredients you can’t pronounce, today we’re whipping up something way better. This Tropical Pineapple Mango Electrolyte Drink is my latest flavor drop in the Homemade Gatorade series, and it’s giving major vacation vibes in a glass.
Why You’ll Love This Tropical Mango Pineapple Gatorade
Y’all have been showing so much love for this series (we’re already 10 flavors in!), and I’m thrilled to keep bringing you more ways to hydrate naturally. If you’ve missed any of the previous recipes, I’ve saved every single one in my “Homemade Gatorade” highlight on Instagram, go check it out!
This week’s blend is sweet, tangy, and hydrating with a gorgeous golden color. It’s the kind of drink you’ll want to sip all summer long, whether you’re fresh out of a workout or lounging by the pool.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Coconut Water: The base of this drink is packed with natural electrolytes and potassium, perfect for replenishing after a sweat session.
- Pineapple: Naturally juicy and sweet with a tropical tang that pairs beautifully with citrus and mango.
- Lime Juice: Adds brightness, supports hydration, and balances the sweet with a splash of tart.
- Toasted Coconut Chips: Optional, but so worth it. They bring in a subtle nuttiness and richness.
- Salt: Just a pinch of mineral-rich salt helps replenish sodium and makes this a true electrolyte drink.
- Honey or Maple Syrup: Sweetens naturally without overpowering the fresh fruit.
- Mango Purée: Blended with lime and a touch of sweetener, it forms a vibrant base that gives this drink its dreamy layered look.
How to Make It
Step 1: In a wide-mouth jar, blend the mango, lime juice, and maple syrup (or honey) with an immersion blender until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2: In a separate blender, combine the coconut water, pineapple, toasted coconut chips (if using), lime juice, salt, and your sweetener of choice. Blend until smooth.
Step 3: Fill two glasses with ice and spoon about 1/4 cup of mango purée into the bottom of each glass.
Step 4: Slowly strain the pineapple coconut mixture over the mango base to create a layered look.
Step 5: Stir before sipping, garnish with a pineapple wedge, and enjoy!
