Tim Hortons Strawberry Watermelon Kiwi Lemonade Refresher

High histamine

This refresher is high in histamine because of the strawberry, lemon, and kiwi behind its fruity flavor.

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.

This is a chilled fruit drink built on water, sugar, and a blend of fruit concentrates.

  • Strawberry and lemon lead the way — concentrated lemon juice and strawberry juice concentrate are both classic histamine liberators, and they anchor the whole drink.

  • Kiwi adds to it — the freeze-dried kiwi lands moderate, so even the garnish flavor is on the higher side here.

There is no clean way to strip the fruit out of this one, so a different drink is the better bet.
