Suggestion...
I make a similar version of this recipe, except I use either Fat Free Philly cream cheese or the Whipped version, which is still pretty low-cal. I get the frozen organic chopped spinach (microwave), and then dump the cream cheese in on top of the hot spinach to soften, add the artichoke hearts, some black pepper, garlic salt and a little parmesean cheese. The cream cheese makes for a super creamy and satisfying dip....great with veggies!

This is low fat??!
Excellent substitute to the fatty spinach artichoke dip I love to order as an appetizer when we're out to eat. My family couldn't believe this was a low-fat "healthified" recipe!
