Skinny Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip

The big game is coming up soon - less than a month away, and if you’re looking for a great dip to add to your game day spread, look no further. This Skinny Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip is a real winner. One of my favorite things about this hot dip is that it’s super quick and easy to make while being so damn good that no one will ever guess that it’s made to be a little better-for-you.

To lighten this dip up, I used some plain greek yogurt and reduced fat cheeses. The real powerhouses of flavor are the lemon and the spinach. So don’t skip out on that squeeze of lemon juice. The seasoning in there is important too. Garlic, crushed red pepper, and of course salt & pepper.

This dip ends up being perfectly dipable and spreadable. It’s loaded with protein and with just over 100 calories in a serving, you can enjoy your guilt-free hot appetizer freely. Did I mention that you can also make this up ahead of time to just be tossed in the oven and heated when you’re ready to enjoy? Yep!

If you’re feeling extra naughty, try adding in some bacon bits, turkey Italian sausage, mushrooms or even some shredded chicken to stretch the dip out and make it even more hearty and substantial.

I served my top here with some crackers, but mostly I love to use fresh veggies. Celery, carrot coins, and cherry tomatoes to name a few. Broccoli and sugar snap peas are great vehicles for this dip too! Feel free to change up the crudité to suite your needs and likes.
