Spinach-and-Artichoke Dip

I was not in love with the result of this one. Can’t say it will make the cut, but it’s a nice low cal spinach and artichoke dip option if you need it! I also double the spinach, i’m not sure if that made it too different. There was still plenty of dippiness to it, almost too much. And when it says mix, they mean with a mixer, no way to do this bad boy with a spoon!
