Skinny Spinach Artichoke Dip

January 27, 2016 by The Nutrition Twins Leave a Comment

If you love to indulge in rich, creamy dips, but don’t want to do damage your waistline, you’ll love this lightened up version of traditional artichoke dip!

A HUGE 1 cup serving is just 129 calories! Plus, it packs in 16 grams of satisfying protein!

Ingredients

  • 1 c. spinach, finely chopped
  • 1 t. garlic
  • 1 T. olive oil or grape seed oil
  • 1 c. nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ c. canned artichokes
  • Dash of salt and pepper

Homemade Tortilla Chip Ingredients

  • 2 whole-wheat low carb tortillas (a brand like La Tortilla Factory) or another whole grain tortilla with approx 50 calories/ serving
  • Non-fat cooking spray

Directions

Slice each tortilla into 8 pieces. Spray a baking sheet with non-fat cooking spray and place each tortilla slice individually on the pan so that they are not overlapping or touching each other. Bake tortilla chips at 350F for about 3 minutes on each side.

In a medium saucepan, sauté spinach and garlic in the oil. Remove pan from heat and let it cool. Once mixture has cooled for a few minutes, stir in non-fat plain Greek yogurt, the artichokes and a dash of salt and pepper. Pour mixture into a serving bowl and enjoy with homemade tortilla chips.
