To many, spinach and artichoke dip is the dip of all dips. They argue ranch is too soupy, french onion is too processed but spinach and artichoke is the perfect consistency to load onto not only chips but also crackers or even bread! I mean just try spreading ranch dressing onto bread. Artichoke dip is deliciously cheesy but full of veggies so it’s also healthy right?!? Well, we will get to that last aspect in a minute, but yes, artichoke and spinach dip is always a crowd-pleaser and it is easy to see why everyone loves it. It’s chock full of cheese and served all warm and bubbling. However, although the veggies definitely give it a health boost, it is hard to negate the copious amounts of cheese and mayo that a typical recipe uses. So how does one indulge in this amazing flavor profile without feeling icky and heavy the next day? The secret is to keep that creaminess and flavor but dump the dairy and mayo. Now, many might think this feat is impossible but that is only because they have yet to try our new vegan artichoke dip: Introducing the crowd-pleasing Spinach and Artichoke Cashew and Almond Dip!
Can It Be? A Healthy Artichoke Dip?
Our gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan artichoke dip steps up to the challenge of being just as creamy and delicious as the traditional dip but made with healthy fats, the best ingredients, and no preservatives. But you may ask, “How can you get this kind of richness without dairy?” and the answer to the secret is actually nuts. Cashews and almonds have been used for decades as an amazing way to create that dairy-like creaminess but with a huge nutritional boost so you get the best of both worlds. Now that a better, tastier alternative is in our midst, life just got so much better! You can end your search for gluten-free artichoke dip, or non-dairy artichoke dip because they’re rolled into one delicious dip!
Healthy Artichoke Dip Makes Everything Better
The versatility of dairy-free artichoke dip knows no bounds. You may be so excited just to think about this fantastic concoction as a dip but it can be so much more. Here are a few starter ideas of how our dip can take basic go-to’s and make them out of this world.
Pull-Apart Bread – Imagine huge dollops of our glorious vegan spinach dip baked into garlicky sections of fresh-baked bread. Pull apart bread can sometimes be an oily mess from the insane amount of butter and oil that is usually added but our version lightens it up without sacrificing the feeling of decadence. This pull-apart bread is not only great for parties but with our healthy and delicious swap out you can even enjoy it on a regular weeknight!
Lasagna – Lasagna is one of the greatest foods ever created but can be rather difficult to “healthify” given the massive amount of dairy. However, our fabulous spinach and artichoke cashew and almond dip can make an extra special swap out for ricotta without giving up the creaminess, in fact, it actually makes it better and healthier with the addition of the tangy artichoke and the earthiness of the spinach to add even more flavor and yumminess.
Breakfast Sandwich – Make breakfast feel like a gourmet experience with a generous shmear of our dip on a freshly toasted English muffin. Combine this with an egg of tofu scramble to create a filling and healthy way to start the day!
Stuffed Mushrooms – Looking for a fast and easy way to impress your guests at your next dinner party? Try stuffing our decadent vegan spinach dip into some mushroom caps topped with some toasted breadcrumbs and a drizzle of olive oil then bake for just a few minutes. You will look like the classiest of hosts with minimum effort and more time to enjoy the party!
