Great-Full Spinach Dip
Rich in whole protein, vitamin E, and Omega’s.
Unlike the famous spinach dip that was stuffed into carved out rye bread loaves and brought to every party in the 1990’s, and which is also full of super-fatty cheese and mayo, THIS recipe tastes as creamy and decadent but is awesomely good for you! Rich in whole protein, vitamin E, and Omega’s, this dip is one you can enjoy guilt free. Whether you serve it with veggie sticks or plop it into a scooped out gluten free bread loaf, this one will be a favorite for the health nut and the mayo-lover alike…everyone can be great-full!
