Sources of Potassium

So, according to MFP and based on gym instructors & yoga teachers, if one is very active and sweating a lot during the day due to physical activity - then potassium must be replenished and good amount of it must be consumed during the day.
Per my MFP, I need to consume 3,500 during the day - and I usually just get it from banana and coconut water (which I had too much of today.) Does anybody know of another GREAT source of potassium? What is the best to serve it too?
Would truly appreciate your inputs on this. Thanks!

Tomatoes, dried apricots, blackstrap molasses, avocados, potatoes, beans, fish, and dates, to name a few.

Beans, potatoes, yams, most fruits & veggies, fish. A cup of white beans has more than 1/3 of your daily requirement.
