You will make good progress towards your potassium RDA

Potassium is a vital mineral that many overlook, yet nearly every cell needs it to generate electrical impulses. It helps maintain a steady heartbeat and triggers insulin release to balance blood sugar. Most adults need 3,500–4,700 mg of potassium a day; two medium bananas offer roughly 900 mg, a solid step toward that goal. If you need more potassium, ask your doctor and add foods such as white beans, potatoes, beets, spinach, watermelon, or tomato sauce.
