Favorite source of potassium?

For many years I’ve easily kept night time foot crams at bay by eating a banana most days. As I’ve cut back on bananas, there has been a mild return of foot/leg cramps.

My favorites are coconut water and watermelon, but avocados and sweet potatoes are right up there too.

Thanks. I use avocados a lot. Sometimes sweet potatoes and watermelon - will try to add mor. Have not had coconut water - something new to try.

Thanks, @Colorado_mom. I’m going to make this tomorrow with leftover rotisserie chicken, subbing spinach for kale. I’m making chicken stock today from a couple of frozen rotisserie chicken carcasses as I begin to clean out the fridge in advance of closing down the cabin later this month.

Well the chicken white bean stew for me was good… but much more of a soup, even after boiling off much longer than recipe timing. Possible factors: I made big chunks of the chicken so could not really shred (did make smaller chunks); I only used half a bag of spinach). I used immersion blend in atttempt to thicken without much luck.

Pretty much the same here, @Colorado_mom. I decided to make this tonight after the stock cooled, and I used a whole bag of spinach. It was good, and we’ll finish the batch, but it was more soup-y than stew-y. DH liked it but it didn’t “wow” us.

Tonight we had the leftovers from the chicken/beans stew-soup. It did thicken from all my cooking of it and then refrigeration. We served it over brown rice, with addition of shrimp. (I had intended to also add a few small cooked breakfast sausage links I had in fridge but forgot.)
