Healthy spinach artichoke dip
The most recent time I made this spinach artichoke dip, I received such amazing words of praise from my husband. He said “this is even better than Costco’s dip.” Haha, I loved it! And it’s true! This veggie loaded, super creamy dip is way more flavorful than any store bought dip.
What to serve with spinach artichoke dip
I served our warm dip with a handful of goodie – crackers (these are my favorite 5 kinds of crackers), tortilla chips, cucumbers, carrots and bell peppers. I also used some of the leftover dip over some chicken the next day. Oh my goooooodness, that was a smart idea!
I feel like the possibilities are endless.
Want a spinach artichoke pizza? Top this on it.
Want to stuff a baked sweet potato with it? Go for it.
Want added flavor to your chicken? Serve it with healthy spinach artichoke dip and you are set for a delicious meal!

How to make healthy spinach artichoke dip
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat a small pot over medium heat, and add the olive oil and then add onions. Cook on low for several minutes, or until onions begin to turn translucent.
- Add the garlic and continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes. Add spinach and artichokes and continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes.
- Add in the yogurt, cream cheese, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to an oven safe dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly.
Storing and reheating leftover dip
If you end up with leftover dip, store it in a sealed container in the fridge. To reheat, I suggest warning in a 300 F degree oven for 10-15 minutes, or until it’s warmed through. You can also reheat in the microwave until warm. However you choose to warm it, give it a good stir and ensure even heating.

I was WONDERING why you weren’t posting 😉 My reader wasn’t picking up your post! Problem fixed !!! This dip looks amazing. I’m totally trying it
I had missed you here! So I just tried adding my own blog to feedly (I mostly used bloglovin and it shows up fine) and it’s so strange, but no posts are showing up. How did you fix it?
[…] My last swap was adding plain greek yogurt into the filling. I remember eating enchiladas growing up and I loved the cream cheese added in. I still added cream cheese, but swapped out half with greek yogurt. You get a little bit more protein and natural creaminess. Kind of like my swap with the spinach artichoke dip. […]
