Traditionally, we see dairy products like cream cheese and mayonnaise used in spinach artichoke dip. While it is indeed delicious, it is not the best for you. However, in this Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe, all of the dairy products have been replaced with ingredients like silken tofu and nutritional yeast. Not only is it super tasty, but now Spinach Artichoke Dip can be healthy too!
Why Dairy Free?
First, cow’s milk is not made for us! Milk is made by the mother cows to feed their calves. Second, humans are the only mammals that consume the milk of other animals and we are the only animals that drink milk in adulthood. While dairy products can be a great source of protein, there may be other problems that come with consuming dairy.
You will enjoy this flavorful dip, which is perfect for entertaining, if you want to make the switch to being dairy-free or already have!
