Is Jamba Juice Strawberry Surf Rider Smoothie High in Histamine?

Jamba Juice Strawberry Surf Rider Smoothie

High histamine

This smoothie is high in histamine, driven by strawberries, lemonade concentrate, and lime sherbet.

Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.

Histamine Liberator

This blended smoothie combines lemonade concentrate, lime sherbet, strawberries, ice, and peaches.

Strawberries, lemonade, and lime — strawberries and citrus (both the lemonade concentrate and the lime sherbet) are classic histamine liberators, so the three of them each push the drink up.
What's left — the peaches and ice are the milder part, but they can't pull the whole drink down while the liberators stay in the blend.

Because the liberator fruits are the base of this smoothie, a version built on a gentler fruit is the way to go.
