Fruits, vegatables, and legumes.
  • Recent research shows potassium bound to fibre is not well absorbed, so eat more higher fibre foods.
  • Eat more whole fruits and vegetables and whole grains (even some bananas, oranges & whole tomatoes, whole wheat bread and oatmeal).
  • Include plant proteins like unsalted nuts, peanut butter, nut butters, tofu, canned chickpeas/kidney beans.
  • Limit low fibre foods with easier to absorb potassium like fruit/vegetable juices, tomato sauce/paste, milk & yogurt.
  • Avoid potassium additives in packaged food. Check the ingredient list on labels for the word potassium.

Example Ingredient List

Water, chicken, rice, carrots, red bell pepper, green peas, modified corn starch, salt, chicken fat, chicken broth, sugars, dehydrated onions, potassium chloride, yeast extract, onion powder, garlic powder, spices.
