Welcome to the world of potassium-packed alternatives to the humble banana. One banana boasts 451 mg of potassium, helping to power your heart, muscles, brain, and kidneys. However, we're here to introduce you to an array of delectable options that pack even more of this crucial nutrient.

Swipe left on bananas and say hello to leafy greens, acorn squash, guava, black beans, and orange juice. But the superpower in our potassium line-up? Enter the avocado. With 975 mg of potassium, avocados give you about one-third of the daily value (DV) of potassium for most adults. Plus, they're stuffed with healthy fats, folic acid, magnesium, and fiber.

Ocean dwellers, rejoice – a half fillet serving of Salmon is loaded with 970 mg of potassium and teems with heart-protective vitamins B and D, selenium, and niacin.

And for those who love emerald-coloured veggies? Your culinary partner, the charming Swiss chard, holds 961 mg of potassium per cup. Packed with antioxidants, iron, zinc, and magnesium, Swiss chard doesn't merely outdo the banana – it makes it seem like the weakling of the potassium world.

Potatoes, before you ask, yes, we see your impressive 952 mg of potassium per medium-sized baked potato. Round up your sweaters and mugs of tea, because baked potato season is here to stay!

Fall's favorite, acorn squash, serves up 896 mg of potassium per cup. Are you keeping score, banana fans? Because we're not finished.

Plant-based protein pearly gates open – soybeans offer 886 mg of potassium per cup. Sweet potatoes, with their 855 mg of potassium per large piece, also make it to the 'more-than-a-banana' club.

We haven't forgotten you, sweet tooths. A half-cup of dried fruit flirts with 755 mg of potassium.

Next up, lentils, and guava, with 731 and 688 mg of potassium per cup, respectively. Refreshing passion fruit and good ol' watermelon join the league with around 640 mg of potassium each.

Do you still crave your potassium sweet and chewy? Prunes, we have your back, offering 635 mg of potassium per half cup.

Take a wild ride through other potassium-packed foods that put the banana to shame, including beans, yogurt, and yes, even pumpkin, to name a few.

Look, we still have love for the banana. But for the adventurous, there's a veritable orchard of potassium-packed alternatives to dress up your plate.

However, before you charge towards this potassium mine, if you have chronic kidney disease or are on blood pressure medication, consult with your healthcare provider. Overdoing potassium can lead to hyperkalemia, a potentially dangerous condition where the potassium levels get too high in your blood.

So, whether you're breastfeeding, pumping iron, or just in need of your daily potassium fix, remember, idea that bananas are the only go-to is just…bananas.
