Feeling tired and experiencing frequent muscle cramps? These could be the result of a potassium deficiency. Dizziness and heart palpitations are other common signs that your body is missing the mineral.

Potassium is an essential element that plays a role in numerous physiological processes. Many of us recognize bananas as one of the primary sources of potassium.

A medium serving of banana contains 422 milligrams of potassium – nearly 10 percent of the daily recommended amount. Still, if you want to diversify your diet and rely on other sources of potassium, you have various possibilities to choose.

Here, we’ve rounded up five foods with more potassium than a banana. Nosh away.

① Baked Sweet potato
5-1
Sweet potatoes are another excellent source of potassium – one baked sweet potato will provide 542 milligrams. (for one medium-sized, baked sweet potato).

② Avocado
1-1
If you are a guacamole fan, you will certainly be excited about this one. Consuming solely half an avocado in the form of a salad or a favorite dip will give your body 487 milligrams of potassium.

③ White beans
6-1
Whether you cook them up in chili, drop them in a soup or serve them on the side, white beans are loaded with potassium. In just half a cup, you’ll get around 502 mg of the mineral.

④ Plain Yogurt
7-1
Plain yogurt is one of the most beneficial snacks because it is low in calories and a source of essential probiotics. In addition, it contains almost 580 milligrams of potassium in a single serving. Next time you feel like eating something between meals, go for this delicious and healthy possibility.

⑤ Spinach
3-1
In your salad, on your burger, or in a delicious smoothie, there are a million ways to get spinach into your diet—and take advantage of its whopping 839 mg of potassium per cup.

All of these delicious and familiar foods are a much better source of potassium than bananas. If you are still looking for options to diversify your menu and get your daily amount of potassium, you can consider eating dried apricots, fatty fish like salmon, mushrooms and homemade tomato sauces.
