If you’re looking for a healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe, this is the one you’ve been searching for. It’s a Skinny Spinach Artichoke Dip that’s lightened up, but not lacking in flavor or creaminess!

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m kind of a walking contradiction when it comes to cheese.  On one hand, my logical brain knows I should stay away from the stuff.  On the other hand, well, it’s cheese.  And it’s dang good.

When it’s time for hosting a crowd and I need an appetizer, it gets fifty million times harder to avoid it.  In everyday life I try to enjoy cheese in strict moderation, and that’s the philosophy I brought to this recipe.  I’m not one to sub low-fat cheese and mayo to a recipe and call it skinny.

What I did here was use less cheese rather than the same amount of the low-fat stuff. It’s still plenty cheesy, trust me. Lighten up your game day and party appetizers with this SKINNY Spinach Artichoke Dip. Tastes AMAZING but with less calorie! #recipe #partyfoodInstead of mayo or sour cream many spinach artichoke dip recipes call for, I used greek yogurt.  I also used a small amount of cream cheese to add to the creamy texture everyone loves.

The end result was a flavorful appetizer that didn’t leave me feeling sluggish and overstuffed.  It was just the right amount of cheese mixed with the spinach and artichokes.

If you are looking for a lighter option for your Christmas spread, upcoming New Year’s Eve or Super Bowl spread, this Skinny Spinach Artichoke Dip is a perfect recipe for you.  It’ll be a hit! Skinny Spinach Artichoke Recipe showing the texture

    Could you use fresh spinach in this? Or does it have to be frozen?

      I think fresh could work if well chopped and cooked.

    I can’t stand the yumminess of this spinach artichoke dip. Just watching it on the screen makes me drool!
    Artichoke and spinach are really healthy, so I try to eat them as frequently as possible. They’re tasty, by the way. The tastiest greens for me. I believe they keep my body fit and healthy because of a great deal of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. I suppose this dish is a real catch for those people who aren’t into veggies so much. I served this dip with chicken for my family on weekends and they enjoyed it. Even children, who used to spit vegetables!
    Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe and for your work in general! I’m gonna cook this spinach artichoke dip again and again.
    Your blog is amazing, Maryea! Keep it up!
    Happy New Year!

    Is the parmeson reggiano sliced pieces? Trying to figure out why it looks like layers, and some are toasted on top.

      Hi Marcel! No, it doesn’t have sliced pieces. I’m not sure why it looked layered, but the top is browned from baking in the oven. Maybe you are seeing the pieces of artichoke that look like cheese?

        I’m going to a party with 8 adults and 6 little kids age 3-6. I’m wondering if I should double recipe . can I just double recipe and put in larger baking dish?

      • Maryea says

        December 31, 2015 at 2:26 pm

        Yes, you can double the recipe and put it in a larger baking dish. I’m not sure you’ll need to double it, though. I guess it just depends on how much other food there will be.

    This recipes sounds great! Any idea how many calories per serving? What would the serving size be? Seems pretty light but wanted to compare it to another light recipe I found

    I’m with you. During the week I tell myself how bad cheese is for me so I avoid it like the plague, but when it comes to parties or wine tasting, I can’t avoid cheese. It’s just too good to cut out for good!
