Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip

Spinach artichoke dip is one of my all time favorite party snacks. It’s usually loaded with dairy so I tend to stay away from it. However, this recipe is easy, healthy, protein-rich, and leaves you feeling great after eating it. It’s made with beans, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, spinach, and artichokes. Who knew beans would make it so creamy and delicious!?! I literally could have eaten the whole entire bowl, and I basically did. You can pair it with crackers, chips, or carrots. I can eat it by the spoonfuls plain too. It also tastes so good as a sandwich spread. Mmmm….I want some right now! Make this at your next party and it will definitely be a crowd pleaser.
