Just buy pure potassium, it's kinda like butter, you could probably put it on bread or sandwiches...

I drink coconut water or use these high potassium powders but if you want to hit potassium rda have most of your carbs be potatoes, drink skim or 1% milk for protein you will get there easily, 90 calories of skim milk = 500mg potassium, 1 potatoes (200 cals I think?) is like 800mg potassium

200 calories per 100ml. No thanks

those are the stats of a coconut water with added sugar lol, mine got 110 calories for 500ml with 1000mg of potassium, it got 20g of sugar which makes it a good carb source just treat it as a food

Because consuming potassium via supplements or in liquid form is dangerous in high amounts since it absorbs much quicker
