I just did some quick research, and here are some common foods that are naturally rich in magnesium. In addition a lot of cereals like shredded wheat, oatmeal, bread also have mg. Looks like some delicious options. There was also a note in the article about that you can't absorb too much Mg through these sources.

* Almonds, dry roasted: Serving Size 1 oz, 80 mg

* Spinach, boiled: Serving Size ½ cup, 78 mg (does it have to be boiled?)

* Cashews, dry roasted: Serving Size 1 oz, 74 mg

* Peanuts, oil roasted: Serving Size ¼ cup, 63 mg

* Black beans, cooked: Serving Size ½ cup, 60 mg

* Edamame, shelled, cooked: Serving Size ½ cup, 50 mg

* Dark chocolate -60-69% cacoa: Serving Size 1 oz, 50 mg

* Peanut butter, smooth: Serving Size 2 tablespoons, 49 mg

* Avocado, cubed: Serving Size 1 cup, 44 mg
