Healthy Stove Top Spinach Artichoke Dip (GF, DF)

Quick and easy stove top Spinach artichoke dip that is gluten free and dairy free.

Who doesn’t love spinach artichoke dip but it often leaves you feeling ready for a long winter hibernation so I decided to level up that old recipe and make this dip packed with good for you nutrition but ensure that it was still a creamy dreamy hit at any party!

This dip is:

  • dairy free

  • gluten free

  • nutritional yeast free

  • loaded with greens, protein and healthy fat

  • includes bone broth to help heal the gut

  • so creamy

  • quick and easy as it comes together on the stove top in minutes

The star ingredient of this dip is the bone broth! I only use one brand when it comes to bone broth as they take the time to do it right. Bonafide Provisions is my go to with no added fillers or shortcuts. This brand was born from the need to help people get their daily dose of bone broth without having to cook the animal parts for hours on their own stove. The founder used to see patients with various gut and autoimmune diseases and would use this bone broth as part of a healing protocol. It took off from there when people were demanding it as they saw the results first hand. I have not tested any other bone broth brand in this recipe and it is critical that the bone broth be thick and gelatinous to create a creamy texture for this dip. Regular broth will not work.
