Gatorade in powder packets is way easier to travel with. But does it taste like the bottle?
I like Gatorade. Gatorade isn’t a sponsor; I paid good money for this. They sell Thirst Quencher powder in big packets that remind me of cappuccino packets, and that would be a lot easier to travel with. Next time I go to Arizona, I wouldn’t have to run to the store for drinks. I got a box of 30 for about $18 or $19. Can it turn into real-tasting Gatorade?
- Tastes just like Gatorade
- Dissolves fast, even in room-temperature water
- Tear-open packets, no scissors needed
- Easy to pack for travel or a bug-out bag
- Good value per packet
- You need a bottle or shaker cup to mix it
- A packet makes only 16.9 oz

Mixing it
Each packet makes 16.9 fluid ounces, so I measured that out. I mixed it in my little shaker cup instead of a bottle. The packet has a tear notch, which I love, because you don’t want to die of thirst just because you don’t have a knife.
Mine is orange, and it looks like Tang going in. I stirred it in room-temperature water that had been sitting out for four hours, and all of it dissolved very quickly. No big granules.
The taste
It looks like Gatorade and smells like Gatorade. And it tastes just like Gatorade. If I handed it to you without telling you it came from powder, I don’t think you’d know.
Honestly, I figured they make Gatorade from powder in their facilities anyway.
About the buy link
This is the variety pack I linked in the video description. Gatorade sells powder in several sizes and flavors, so check the listing for the pack you want.
Where it makes sense
It’s great for traveling and airports. Put a couple in your carry-on and have a cold drink when you get there, or keep a few in a survival or bug-out bag.
Before a big hike, like a fourteener in Colorado, you can pack it light.
