Potassium sources? Other than bananas...

Can I get some recommendations of good sources of potassium? I'm trying to avoid bananas for the near-term as I'm trying to break a sweet tooth... and bananas make me crave other high-sugar foods. My legs have been crampy lately, and I have noticed I am regularly significantly under goal on my potassium intake. So... suggestions?

    Coconuts. I had a can of coconut water a few days ago that had over 1000mg of potassium. Also, I am now using this coconut powder that you put in your drink. It's called Coco Hydro. :)

    Also, apricots, avocados, and beans.

    Almost any fresh fruit. Kiwis and berries are great. Probably a lot of veggies too.

    Make sure you're drinking plenty of water, too!
