What Makes This Spinach Artichoke Dip Healthy?

Traditionally, spinach artichoke dip is made with a lot of high-fat dairies such as cream cheese and a variety of shredded cheeses that make the rich, creamy, cheesy dip that you know and love.

Greek Yogurt

While I did include some shredded cheeses in this recipe, I swapped out the cream cheese with plain greek yogurt to help cut out some fat and amp up the protein content.

Since the greek yogurt is thick, you still end up with a dip that’s just as thick and creamy as if you used cream cheese.

There are also a lot of health benefits to greek yogurt.

Additionally, it makes this recipe is keto- friendly, so it’s a perfect option for a low carb snack.

Now, the best part?

You get to sneak in vegetables for the kids!

Health Benefits of Dairy

I know dairy can be a bit controversial when it comes to health.

Everyone is different. Some people don’t tolerate it well so they avoid it, and understandably so.

On the other hand, dairy contains lots of healthy nutrients such as calcium (good for your bones!), potassium, vitamin D, and of course protein!

I have always consumed dairy in greek yogurt, cheese, etc. Especially, now I am pregnant with a little one on the way.

Dairy has become an important part of my daily intake of protein, good bacteria, and calcium.

Ingredients for Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip

Just 6 simple ingredients are all you need to make a healthy and delicious spinach artichoke dip!

1. Greek Yogurt

You could use 2% or full-fat Greek yogurt here.

2. Mozzarella Cheese

you can buy shredded mozzarella but I recommend buying a full block of it and shredding it fresh for this recipe.

When you buy already shredded cheeses they often contain anti-caking agents to keep the shreds from sticking together.

3. Parmesan Cheese

Just like the mozzarella, I recommend buying a block of cheese and grating it fresh.

4, Canned Artichoke

Artichokes are loaded with antioxidants and vitamins including vitamin C, vitamin K, magnesium, potassium, and folate.

5. Baby Spinach

Either Frozen or fresh spinach will work for this recipe.

Baby spinach is a bit more tender than regular spinach so it works nicely in this dip. Regular spinach is more fibrous and thus a bit chewier.

6. Salt & Pepper

This is totally up to your personal preference.

Keep in mind that the cheeses will add a bit of saltiness and canned artichokes often contain sodium as well.

How to Make Easy Spinach Artichoke Dip

This dip comes together in about 30-40 minutes total; 30 minutes of it is bake time.

First, if you are using fresh baby spinach, lightly sauté it before mixing it with the other ingredients.

If you are using frozen baby spinach just make sure to drain and squeeze out the excess water first.

Then, mix together the baby spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded parmesan, greek yogurt, artichokes, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Once everything is thoroughly combined, place the mixture into an oven-safe dish and put it into the oven for 30 minutes at 350 F. 

Little cast iron skillets make a great presentation for this!

Optional: broil the dip for 3 minutes at the end to create a nice golden brown crust on top.

How to Serve Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip

This dip goes well with just about anything.

You could easily eat it with some fresh crisp veggies to keep it low carb and gluten-free or you could pair it with some chips or crackers too!

Pita chips are one of my favorites for dips since they are thicker and can hold up to the weight of the dip.

If you’re feeling fancy, you can toast some slices of baguette to serve alongside the dip for a major crowd-pleaser.

Another great way to serve this dip is to add it on top of grilled chicken.

Just place it on top of the chicken the same as you would any other kind of sauce; trust me on this one. It’s to die for.

How to Store Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip

This artichoke dip can last up to 3-4 days in the fridge.

You can also freeze it too! Let it thaw on the counter or use the microwave to defrost before eating.

If using a cast-iron skillet, let the dip cool completely, then transfer to another container to put in the fridge.

To reheat, place the dip in a pan on top of the stove and stir consistently until the dip is warmed throughout.
