Guess which recipe is the most popular on Natasha’s Kitchen? Our spinach and artichoke dip! It’s been pinned over 1,000,000 times! (P.S. Thanks for pinning! How can I find and hug each of you?). Well, here’s another version that got hit with the skinny stick but didn’t lose any flavor.
This spinach and artichoke dip uses Greek yogurt. It has 50% less cholesterol, 56% less fat, 40% less salt and a wee bit more protein. Serve it warm and cheesy. It’s perfect for game day and the guys will never know you made it healthier! 🙂
Ingredients for Skinny Spinach and Artichoke Dip
8 oz reduced fat cream cheese
16 oz (2 cups) plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese
14 oz quartered artichoke hearts (not the marinated ones) , drained and coarsely chopped
4 oz can diced jalapeños, drained (if you like it spicier, don’t drain)
10 oz frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
2-3 garlic cloves
How To Make Skinny Spinach and Artichoke Dip:
1. In a medium pot over medium heat, melt together 8oz cream cheese, 16 oz Greek Yogurt, 2 Tbsp butter and 1.5 cups parmesan cheese, uncovered, stirring frequently until melted and an even consistency. It should start to bubble.
2. Stir in coarsely chopped artichoke hearts, your drained jalapeños and drained spinach (I used my hands to squeeze spinach over the sink to remove excess water). Finally, stir in 2-3 pressed garlic cloves. Let it bubble for a few minutes and it’s done.
Easy, peasy and delicious!

This is sooo good. Try making it and then mixing it with cooked pasta and grape tomatoes than bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes to mix all together. You’re welcome. LOL
THank you for that suggestion, Traci!
love the healthy version!! but we aren’t big greek yogurt fans….is there an obvious / distinct taste of greek yogurt in the final product?
Hi Sj, there is not! It’s a great base for the dip, but you will not taste it as we used plain yogurt. I hope you give this recipe a try soon!
oh my oh my is this good or what–delicious outstanding recipe –
Isn’t it the best! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Overall this isn’t bad, but for some reason mine ended up suuuuper water. I had to carefully drain the liquid off, and I decided to throw some mozzarella on top and throw it in the oven to 1) get rid of the excess liquid I couldn’t get out and 2) make it look pretty and add another element of flavor.
That is most likely due to not draining the spinach enough. The extra water would cause it to be blander.
This is FANTASTIC! I have been craving this but healthy and this recipe is perfect. I substituted jalapenos with green chilies because I am not a fan and did not miss them. I even used it to top a homemade thin crust margarita pizza I made and it was divine.
Yum! Great idea, Melissa! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Love that you are showing some lower fat recipes, not that I don’t love the full fat ones but my body needs to have less weight on it….the legs are complaining when doing stairs!
Totally understand what you mean. Glad you liked this recipe!
I have made both the regular version of the dip and this skinny dip. It is delicious both ways, I don’t miss any of the delicious flavor with the substitutions. I made the recipe exactly as it is. I highly recommend this for any time you were having guests over or just craving some delicious spinach artichoke dip.
Nice comments and feedback! Thank you, Erin.
How long will this keep in the fridge?
Hi Anush, I haven’t really had it in the fridge longer than a few days before it got eaten. I imagine no longer than a week, but it’s best fresh 🙂
I will be making tomorrow- it sounds wonderful. Could you suggest a less spicy substitute for jalapenos? Thanks.
Hi Marian, You can absolutely leave out the jalapeños. They just add a nice kick to the dip, but it will still taste great without them.
Hi! Followed the recipe and it came out a bit runny! Any tips on how to thicken it up? Thanks!
Hi Courtney, I’m so glad you liked that! Was anything altered in the recipe, Courtney?
Blah blah. Just wanted recipe

Hello Jill, we are working on adding nutrition labels and metric measurements on all of our recipes. It’s a slow process since it is one recipe at a time. Until all of the recipes are updated, check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you!
OMG! This is SOOO good! Got this recipe from my boss and now I’m obsessed with it. Great recipe!
I’m glad you love it Karen! Thanks for sharing your great review!
Hi Natasha!
I wasn’t able to find 1/3 Fat Cream Cheese so I got regular. Should I use less Parmesan cheese in the recipe or just substitute the regular cream cheese for the fat free or use less?
I’m not quite sure I’m not too versed in cooking techniques and how to substitute!
Hi Emma, you are absolutely welcome to use the full fat cream cheese. This skinny dip was the low fat version of our original super popular spinach and artichoke dip.
Hi Natasha, can I use fresh baby spinach instead of frozen? Thank you
Hi Shoghine, I’ve done a similar recipe with fresh spinach and I wilted it first in a clean pot and set it in a colander to drain off any liquid before adding it to the dip. It also helps to coarsely chop it if the leaves are larger to make it more dip friendly
Gown many calories are in this dip?
Due to time constraints, I don’t typically include nutritional info, but check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you Rebeka!
Ok I need to make this tonight!!!
It’s delicious! Please let me know what you think Marisa!
I just took a chance and made this for a wine tasting party I’m going to tomorrow night. It is fantastic!!!! I never comment and I’m not a facebooker so you know I mean it!!! The only change I made was I didn’t have jalepenos so I used red pepper flakes. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome Jennifer! I’m so happy to hear how much you love the recipe! Thanks for sharing your wonderful review! Enjoy the tasting party 🙂
Can I bake it before serving? Sounds delicious. I am making this for mothers day
Hi Kimberly, yes that should work great. Bake at 350˚F for 15-20 minutes or until it is hot 🙂
Love this!!
I’m so happy to hear that!! 🙂
