Is Tim Hortons Tropical Mango Lemonade Refresher High in Histamine?

Tim Hortons Tropical Mango Lemonade Refresher

High histamine

This mango lemonade refresher is high in histamine from the lemon, pineapple, and mango concentrates.

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 tart fruit drink built on water, sugar, lemon juice, and tropical fruit concentrates.

Lemon and pineapple lead — concentrated lemon juice and freeze-dried pineapple are both high and both classic histamine liberators.
Mango and acerola add more — mango juice concentrate, pineapple juice concentrate, and acerola juice concentrate all sit at moderate, keeping the whole blend high.

The fruit and lemon are the entire drink, so a different option is the smarter pick.
