Is Tim Hortons Blackberry Citrus Lemonade Refresher High in Histamine?

Tim Hortons Blackberry Citrus Lemonade Refresher

High histamine

This lemonade refresher is high because of the concentrated lemon juice and orange juice concentrate.

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 is a lemonade-style drink built on concentrated lemon juice with apple, blackberry, and orange juice concentrates.

Concentrated lemon juice — lemon is a classic histamine liberator, and here it is a high driver that sets the whole drink high.
Orange juice concentrate — orange is another citrus liberator adding to the picture, so the citrus base is the core issue.

A citrus-free refresher on the same menu will land lower than this one.
