I have been paying attention to the different nutrients that I consume and I am consistently low on potassium. What are some potassium rich foods that I can add? Thanks!

    I was just noting that I am coming up extremely low on potassium almost daily!! Thanks for posting...will be following! All I know is bananas so I am assuming fruits and veggies, but off to google now.

    If you are eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, then chances are you are getting adequate potassium.

    If you are eating mostly packaged processed foods, then you may or may not be getting enough. It is difficult to tell, since potassium is not one of the required nutrients listed on the nutrition content labels. It is optional. Some labels have it, some don't.
