A better artichoke dip recipe.

I am functional medicine, and I approve of this recipe.

Ok, so after my little endorsement, I will cut to the chase. Many recipes we use can be made just as good but with a healthier slant. It’s all about the ingredients we use (and how much).

This is just one of those recipes. Many more to come. This recipe was actually given to me by a patient and I have to say, it’s a good one.

Ingredients:

Olive oil
2 Frozen Organic Spinach bags
1 Jar artichoke heart
1/2 Sweet onion chopped
1/2 Can organic coconut milk

Instructions:
1) In a pan sauté the onion with a little olive oil.
2) Place artichoke hearts and defrosted spinach in a food processor. Blend to desired consistency.
3) Add the blended artichoke and spinach to the pan with the onions. Stir and mix in coconut milk (you vary the amount of coconut milk depending on the consistency desired.
4) Add a little salt (use this kind) and pepper to taste.

Put dish into serving bowl and voila - a healthier alternative to an often unhealthy dish.

Bon appetit!
