Blue Raspberry Gatorade Inspired Drink
Y’all, this week’s homemade Gatorade flavor is bringing serious nostalgia. We’re making an all-natural Blue Raspberry electrolyte drink that tastes shockingly close to the real thing, minus the neon dyes and mystery ingredients. If you loved Glacier Freeze growing up, this one’s gonna feel like a hug from your childhood, just cleaner and way better for you.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
Lemon Raspberry Layer:
- 1 1/2 cup coconut water
- 1 lemon (peeled)
- 1 cup raspberries
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (maple syrup works beautifully with this flavor)
- Optional: 1/4–1/2 teaspoon citric acid (start small and adjust for tartness)
Blue Layer:
- 1 cup coconut water, filtered water or decaf green tea
- ½ teaspoon blue spirulina
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon warm water
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the lemon raspberry layer ingredients: coconut water, aloe vera juice, peeled lemon, raspberries, salt, sweetener, and citric acid (if using). Blend until smooth, then strain and pour over ice in two glasses.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the blue layer ingredients (coconut water, dissolved honey, and blue spirulina) until fully combined.
- Gently float the blue layer on top of the lemon raspberry layer using the back of a spoon for a layered effect.
- Stir before drinking and garnish with a lemon wedge and fresh raspberries, if desired.
