Tim Hortons Tropical Mango Poppin' Candy Dreamsicle

High histamine

This mango dreamsicle is high, led by the buttermilk in its creamy base.

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.

It blends mango, apple, and acerola juice concentrates with a creamy dreamsicle base of buttermilk, cream, and lactose, finished with poppin' candy.

  • Buttermilk — buttermilk is a cultured dairy product, and cultured dairy tends to run high, which sets the level for the whole drink.

  • Acerola juice concentrate — this concentrated fruit juice lands moderate, and the dreamsicle base itself sits moderate too, so there is more than one thing keeping it up.

A plainer drink without the creamy base is the lower-histamine route.
