When I was a vegan, the two things I missed were Greek yogurt and cheese. I could do without milk and eggs, but those 6 months without dairy left me loving cheese even more than before. Still, I’d never been a big spinach dip person. I typically avoided those creamy dips knowing they could run you hundreds of calories for a few spoonfuls.

How to Make Healthy Spinach Dip

Using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream is a great way to make spinach dip a little healthier. You can also use Greek yogurt cream cheese, instead of regular cream cheese which has more protein and less fat than traditional cream cheese. It’s an easy way to make this spinach dip healthier!
