Product Information

G2 has less than half the carbs and calories of original Gatorade
There's more to sweat than water. Replace lost fluids, electrolytes and carbohydrates with Gatorade Thirst Quencher
Trusted by some of the world's best athletes
Fruit Punch flavor
Our lightest way to help replace what you sweat out. G2 hydrates with the same electrolyte formula of Gatorade Thirst Quencher, but has less than half the carbs and calories of the Original G sports drink. You lose a lot more than water when you sweat, including critical electrolytes - like sodium and potassium - that help your brain communicate with muscles and regulate your body's fluid balance. G2 contains 160mg sodium and 45mg potassium per serving. Significant losses in fluids and electrolytes can negatively impact performance, especially during long bouts of training. Not only do you lose water and electrolytes in sweat, but you also burn through carbs rapidly. Because carbs are the best fuel for muscles, replacing them throughout training is essential to performance. G2 has 8g carbs per serving, less than half the carbs of Original Gatorade. Zero calories means zero energy. All athletes need calories to create energy for muscles during training or a workout. G2 has 35 calories per serving, fewer than half the calories of Original Gatorade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is G2 a smart choice for my child during youth soccer practice in the heat?
Yes, G2 is a popular choice for youth athletes because it replenishes the same sodium and potassium they lose through sweat with significantly fewer calories and carbs than original sports drinks. Mixing a serving into their water bottle before practice helps them stay hydrated and energized.
Will my kids actually like the Fruit Punch or Grape flavor?
Both Fruit Punch and Grape are among the most kid-approved Gatorade flavors, and the powder format mixes into a familiar-tasting drink kids recognize. You can also start with a slightly diluted mix to match your child's taste preferences.
Is the G2 formula appropriate for youth athletes rather than original Gatorade?
Many sports nutritionists recommend lower-calorie options like G2 for youth athletes who do not need the higher sugar content of original sports drinks. It still provides the electrolytes kids lose through sweat while keeping added sugar minimal.
How many servings does one canister make, and is that enough for a sports season?
Each 19.4oz canister yields about 6 gallons of prepared drink, which covers several practices and games for a single youth athlete. For a full season, the Pack of 3 or Pack of 6 option ensures you have enough for practices, games, and unexpected refills.
Can I pre-mix a pitcher and send it to school in a lunchbox bottle?
Yes, you can mix a pitcher the night before, refrigerate it, and pour a serving into your child's bottle in the morning. G2 keeps well refrigerated for a few days, and the flavor stays consistent, making it convenient for school-day hydration.
Is G2 safe for my 8-year-old during a weekend tournament?
G2 is widely used by youth athletes and is safe for school-age children during physical activity. The lower sugar content makes it a more parent-friendly option than original Gatorade, and the powder format lets you control the mix strength.
Will mixing this into my child's water bottle encourage them to actually drink more during games?
Yes, flavored drinks are a well-known way to increase fluid intake in kids who forget to drink water during play. G2 offers a taste they enjoy with the added benefit of electrolyte replacement, which is helpful during back-to-back games.
How does G2 compare to kids' juice boxes or flavored waters for sports hydration?
Juice boxes typically contain as much or more sugar than G2 with far less electrolyte benefit. Flavored waters often have no electrolytes at all. G2 is a purpose-built sports drink that hydrates and replaces what kids lose through sweat, which juice and flavored water cannot do.
Is G2 better than original Gatorade for a child who is not very active?
For a child who is mostly sedentary, plain water is usually sufficient. For active kids at practice or on the field, G2 is a smart middle ground, providing needed electrolytes with fewer calories than original Gatorade.
How much sugar is in G2 compared to the original formula?
G2 contains about 8 grams of carbs per serving, which is roughly half the amount in original Gatorade Thirst Quencher. For parents watching sugar intake, this is a meaningful reduction while still delivering effective hydration.
My child has a sensitive stomach. Will the powder cause any issues?
G2 is generally well-tolerated, but on very hot days some children experience mild stomach discomfort from any sports drink if consumed too quickly. Mix as directed, encourage slow steady sipping, and dilute slightly for younger or more sensitive kids.
Can I use G2 for my teen's high school practices and weight room sessions?
Yes, G2 is appropriate for teen athletes and is widely used at the high school level. For heavier sweaters or longer sessions, slightly increase the mix or pair with extra water to match their individual fluid and electrolyte needs.
Is this a cost-effective way to keep the whole family's sports bottles filled all season?
Absolutely. The Pack of 6 option yields 36 gallons, which is enough to cover multiple kids across a full season of practices and games at a fraction of the cost of ready-to-drink bottles. It is a budget-friendly solution for active families.
How do I mix Gatorade G2 powder for a single serving?
Add one rounded scoop of powder to 16.9 ounces (about 500mL) of cold water, stir or shake until fully dissolved, and enjoy. You can adjust the water level to taste for a stronger or lighter flavor.
How much prepared drink does each canister yield?
Each 19.4oz canister makes approximately 6 gallons of prepared G2 drink when mixed at the recommended ratio, and a Pack of 3 yields around 18 gallons total.
How should I store the powder once it is opened?
Keep the canister tightly sealed in a cool, dry place such as a kitchen pantry, locker, or desk drawer. Avoid humid environments like garages or outdoor sheds to prevent clumping.
Does this powder work with any water bottle or shaker?
Yes, G2 powder mixes easily in any standard water bottle, shaker, or pitcher. A shaker bottle or bottle with a mixing whisk gives the smoothest result with no clumps.
Can I mix G2 with something other than water, like sparkling water or juice?
You can experiment, but G2 is designed and best-tasting when mixed with plain water. Sparkling water may cause excess fizz, and juice will add extra sugar beyond the intended lower-calorie formula.
What is included in the pack when it arrives?
Your order arrives with the number of 19.4oz canisters you selected (Pack of 3 or Pack of 6), each individually sealed. You will need to provide your own water and a bottle or shaker for mixing.
Is G2 safe to drink every day?
For most active adults and youth athletes, drinking G2 daily is safe and well-tolerated. Each serving contains 35 calories, 8g of carbs, 160mg sodium, and 45mg potassium. If you are on a doctor-prescribed low-sodium or low-sugar diet, consult your physician first.
Does G2 need to be refrigerated before or after mixing?
The dry powder does not need refrigeration and stores safely in a pantry. Once mixed, refrigerate the prepared drink and consume within a few days for best taste and freshness.
What is the difference between G2 and original Gatorade Thirst Quencher?
G2 is the reduced-calorie version of original Gatorade Thirst Quencher. It uses the same 160mg sodium and 45mg potassium electrolyte profile but with about half the calories and carbohydrates per serving, making it a lower-sugar option for hydration.
