Foods with Magnesium
Greetings blog friends!
Ah, the metro here in DC totally kicked my butt today–with 3 trains I couldn’t get on because they were too crowded and a fourth that was completely unloaded after a door malfunction. But I made it on the 5th try. And surprisingly wasn’t super sweaty.
Anyways…. Magnesium.
Isn’t that a wild statistic? So I want to share some magnesium rich foods to aid all your spaz-tastic needs:
Seaweed: Kelp, Dulse
Greens: Spinach, Swiss Card
Seeds: Sesame Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds
Nuts: Walnuts, Almonds, Hazelnuts
Beans: Limabeans, White and Red Beans, Black beans
Grains: Millet
Fish: Salmon, Halibut
It isn’t hard to see how a well balanced diet (especially a plant-based one) leaves tons of chances to get magnesium in, and how a “meat and potato” SAD diet lacks magnesium.
Which on this list is your favorite? I’m getting really into dulse, just had spinach in my morning smoothie and am a HUGE pumpkin and sunflower seed fan.
Do you ride public transportation to get to work, or are you a suburbanite car driver? This is my first summer as a 5x a week metro rider and it’s rough!
PS. It was fun hearing which of you snack from the bulk bins in yesterday’s post (and which of you don’t!) Glad to know I’m not the only rebel

I'm a fan of the beans! all of them. Spinach too b/c it's so versatile.
Unfort, I drive my car everywhere. Sometimes I wish I lived in a city so I could walk more and use public transport, but like everything, there's good and bad to it I'm sure.
I'm a fan of ALL beans. SEriously. so good, and spinach b/c it's so versatile.
I live in OKlahoma so we drive everywhere. I wish that we had public transport b/c Id love walking more, but I'm sure like everything, there's good and bad to all!
I love swiss chard!! I love all greens, actually
I live about ten minutes from my work at Penn State, so I always drive or walk during the school year…I'm lucky!
walk! that's awesome!
magnesium is so important. i take a supplement as well because i am not a big seaweed fan. love the video
I ride the train to and from work because it's cheaper than parking in the city!
Definitely all of the beans, spinach and almonds. I have not tried using dulse yet actually. I am a car driver. Our public transit system here….well…sucks.
Nuts are definitely my favorite item on this list! Crazy Americans are so deficient in magnesium, but I'm not really surprised! At home, the only way for me to get around is to take a car, but at school I'm all about the subway!
I am a big fan of raw sunflower seeds.
I love your videos, you have such a wonderful personality. Kenzie you are an absolute star.
Cheers!
I guess magnesium isn't something I think about getting enough of. Interesting facts!
you're too kind! Me too–sunflower seeds are BANGIN!
I used to walk to work when I lived in Toronto (actually I walked everywhere because I was too cheap to buy a metro pass or tokens!)
Now I have a car
I miss walking so much, but I got my fill of walking on my vacation last week!
