Who wants a craveable dip for the BIG game that is actually healthy and light??  MEEE! 

This easy, cheesy, Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip will be a hit at your next party, no one will even know it’s healthy and light!   It is perfect for the Big game, but it will be a recipe you use all year long. Here I’ve even used those cute mini red and yellow peppers as dippers because you know….it is the Chiefs! But tortilla to pita chips would be delicious too.  This dip has all of the essential items that everyone wants: it’s cheesy, gooey and oh so satisfying….but with less calories. AND it’s nutritious. Cheese is a great way to add nutrition to your diet. Cheeses are good sources of calcium, protein and phosphorus, three nutrients particularly important to help build and maintain healthy bones. Who can complain about that??

To lessen the calories, I used yogurt instead of the typical mayonnaise that you find in most Hot Spinach Artichoke Dips. Fermented dairy products, like yogurt, are linked to improved digestive health, reducing inflammation and boosting your immune system….no one can complain about those health benefits!.

I love cooking with cheese because of the B vitamins, vitamin A,  and calcium that it contains, but did you know that cheese is also a great source of protein? Parmesan cheese contains the most protein of any cheese and as you all know….I LOVE parmesan cheese, well all cheese!

This dip is super easy to prepare and you can even make it a day in advance! Just pop it in the oven before you are ready to eat and I promise you will have a crowd pleaser for the Big Game! You might need to adjust the cooking time if you put the dip in the oven cold….but you know it’s done when the cheese is bubbling and it’s light brown on top!
