Greek Yogurt Spinach Artichoke Dip

One of my yoga sisters had a party after yoga class last week. When someone hosts a party at their house, it’s customary for the rest of us to bring a little something. We have the BEST parties because my yoga friends are also foodies. I didn’t have much time this week, but I did need to make up some food to share with the family this week as well, so I decided to make a Spinach Artichoke Dip that was even healthier than my perfect spinach artichoke dip … because I wanted something healthy to snack on at the party.

It was funny that I chose Spinach Artichoke dip because Denise, my friend hosting the party, made Spinach Artichoke Dip too. My heart fell a little when she mentioned it. Everything Denise makes tastes amazing. It might not be healthy, but damn, that woman can cook. With Denise’s decadent dip right beside mine, I was worried nobody would eat my healthy dip, but they did! They tried them both and my bowl of dip was completely gone by the time we were done with the evening.
