Inserting Date + 90 days into a sentence keep getting sate serial number

Excel and Microsoft 365.

Hi, I have a document date.  I want to use that document date plus 90 days in a sentence as a way to age the document.  The sentence is "This proposal expires on {document date plus 90 days}.  I can get the date that I need but when I try to incorporate it into a sentence, the best I can get is a serial number for a date.  My last attempt was "=CONCAT(B25," ",TEXT(B12,"mm/dd/yy") + 90)" and the result is "This proposal expires on 45759".  I've tried a couple of other things as well, I either generate an error or I get the same result (a serial number).  By the way, the serial number is correct for the date I'm looking for.

 

Any suggestions would be welcome.
