- Add the Gatorade to the blender along with the ice cubes and secure the lid.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until the ice is finely crushed and the mixture turns into a thick, slushy texture, about 1-2 minutes.

- Once well blended and icy, pour the slushie into glasses or cups for serving.
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the cool, granular texture.
