leg cramp anon

(Anonymous) 2013-01-29 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much everyone yesterday who helped me out with my leg cramp! I have another question, if it’s not too my trouble – many of you suggested eating bananas, but I don’t like bananas, so I was wondering if any of you have recipes that incorporate bananas, but don’t taste like them?

Thank you again, you were so kind and helpful!

Courtesy of Nanny Ogg, you could try bananananana daiquiris.

Not sure if you'll get the same results from baked goods, but banana bread/muffins that have a lot of chocolate often don't taste overpoweringly of bananas.

People suggest bananas because they are high in potassium... you could try finding out which other foods are sources of potassium.

I have heard about orange juice as a source but dunno what else could be.

This. You just need more potassium in your diet, which bananas have. Foods that also work are baked potatoes, yoghurt, salmon, avocados, and mushrooms.

Bananas in smoothies, don't use a whole banana if you aren't making a lot. The texture gets kinda weird.

I usually just mix whatever fruits or berries I got in the house, half a banana and some water or juice in my smoothie maker and it works fine for me. (I got a lot of frozen fruits, strawberries don't taste right if they don't come from Norway)

This.

I had leg cramps until I started taking a potassium supplement.
