Serve this fan-tastic warm, creamy, and healthy spinach-artichoke dip at your Super Bowl Party – – it’s a crowd pleaser!

By: Jodie Shield, MEd, RDN

Hey, sports fans!  Light beer may taste great and be less filling, but so is this dip. Get your party started and serve my warm, creamy, and super-easy Spinach-Artichoke Dip. I gave this classic appetizer a healthy makeover by using just the right blend of reduced-fat cream cheese and sour cream. What really makes this dip a winner? I add extra spinach and artichokes. Just toss everything together and bake it in the oven for thirty minutes. To avoid high-cal penalties, make sure you serve it with the perfect chip. Some of my favs include: baked whole grain pita crisps, falafel chips, or even celery sticks. Some other tasty appetizers you’ll want to try are my Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Dip, Classic Greek Hummus, Guacamole, and Black Bean Dip.  You can find them by downloading my FREE app Eat Healthy: Homemade Meals in Minutes.
