Tim Hortons Strawberry Watermelon Energized Refresher

High histamine

This energized refresher is high in histamine, mainly from its strawberry 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 fizzy caffeinated fruit drink built on apple and watermelon juice with strawberry and kiwi.

Strawberry juice from concentrate — strawberry is a classic histamine liberator, and it drives the whole drink high.
Freeze-dried strawberry and kiwi pieces — these add a moderate note on top of the strawberry concentrate.

For a lower-histamine energized option, the mango-only Tims Energy is a gentler choice on the same menu.
