Recipe: Great-full Spinach Dip

Like the famous Spinach Dip that is full of super-fatty cheese and mayo, this one 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 bread loaf, this one will be a favorite for the health nut and the mayo-lover alike…everyone can be great-full!
