Here is a short list of foods that actually contain more potassium than bananas.
Sweet potato, potatoes, plain yogurt, prune juice, yellow fin tuna, clams, winter squash and cod. My favorite though is black strap molasses which actually contains quite a bit more potassium than bananas. If you are a calorie counter, this will help you see. 1 Tablespoon of black strap molasses is 47 calories and contains 498mg of Potassium. 1 medium banana is 105 calories and 419mg of Potassium. A sweet potato is 131 calories and contains 694mg of Potassium.
So there are other sources of potassium and most vegetables contain potassium. So eat your vegetables and be a little wary about eating bananas.
