A healthier alternative to classic spinach artichoke dip that uses cashews for extra flavor and a smooth texture.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup (180 ml) Cashew Cream
• 1 cups (360 ml) nonfat greek yogurt
• 1 cups (190 g) grated parmesan cheese [or Vegan parmesan]
• 2 cups (330 g) artichoke hearts, drained
• 1 cup (225 g) fresh spinach, drained well
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup (100 g) mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (215°C) . Spray a 9x9 (23x23cm) square baking pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
2. Fit the Food Processor with the Multi-Use Blade. Place cashew cream, Greek yogurt, and parmesan Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
3. Start the machine and process for 30 seconds. When the processor stops, remove the lid and scrape down the sides of the Work Bowl. Add the artichokes, fresh spinach, garlic powder, black pepper and pulse 6-8 times or until ingredients are incorporated.
