This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy for more details.

bananasIf 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.
