Is Starbucks Avocado Spread High in Histamine?

Starbucks Avocado Spread

High histamine

This avocado spread is high in histamine, driven by the avocado and lime juice.

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

It is a simple blend of avocado, sea salt, onion, garlic, jalapeno, and lime juice.

Avocado and lime juice — both are classic histamine liberator foods and both run high, so together they set the level of the whole spread.
Jalapeno — the jalapeno sits at moderate, adding a little more, while the onion and garlic are milder.

Because the avocado and lime are the base of the spread itself, there is no way to order it lower.
