If you’re like me (Litsa) bananas always make the grocery list! There are always bananas on our kitchen counters for easy snacking! They are known for their potassium-richness—and for a family of three on the go, perfect. But what else is potassium-rich? What other foods in our pantry and/or refrigerator are filled with potassium to help ward off muscle cramps, keep our heart healthy, and keep our blood pressure in a healthy range?
Other potassium-rich superstars include (daily value):
- Salmon: just four ounces (15% dv)
- Dark Leafy Greens: one cup cooked spinach (24% dv)
- White Beans: half a cup (17% dv)
- Baked Potato with skin: medium (26% dv)
- Dried Apricots: half a cup (22% dv)
- Baked Acorn Squash: one cup cubed (26% dv)
- Yogurt (nonfat plain): one cup (18% dv)
- Avocado: half cup (16% dv)
These potassium-rich foods are easily prepared and/or eating right out of the pantry/refrigerator! Get creating in adding them into your potassium rich list of foods you consume throughout the week.
