10. Yogurt

You might be surprised, but this source of potassium is easy to find and available just about everywhere—yogurt! Along with its potassium punch, yogurt is rich in probiotics that help to keep your gut healthy.

Yogurt usually has about 200–300 mg of potassium in a 6-ounce serving (about 170 grams). The amount can change depending on the brand or type—like plain, flavored, or Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt often has less potassium because it’s thicker and more concentrated.
