My Favorite Party Dip That Is Healthy AND Protein Packed

I stopped bringing greasy party dips after making this creamy, flavorful artichoke dip with real, whole plant ingredients.

No oil. No dairy. No weird additives.

If you want a crowd-pleasing snack or spread that tastes indulgent but secretly supports your health goals, this is it.

After losing 70 pounds after 50, improving my blood pressure, and finally enjoying food without guilt, I learned that simple, clean recipes like this make all the difference.

This artichoke dip is:
✔️ Oil-free
✔️ Dairy-free
✔️ Weight-loss friendly
✔️ Perfect for parties, snacks, or spreads

🥙 Oil-Free Artichoke Spread (Perfect for Wraps & Sandwiches)

This creamy, savory oil-free artichoke spread is one of my favorite go-to staples for wraps, sandwiches, pitas, and veggie platters. It’s quick to make, protein-rich, and made entirely from whole plant foods — no mayo, no oil, no fuss.

I love this spread stuffed into a wrap with tomatoes, cucumbers, greens, and sprouts, or used as a hearty sandwich spread when you want something satisfying but light.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Makes: about 3 cups

Ingredients:
2 cans (14 oz each) artichoke hearts in water, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
4 scallions (green onions), chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce or low-sodium soy sauce
½ teaspoon ground red pepper (adjust to taste)

Instructions:
Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust lemon, garlic, or spice as needed.

✨ Tip: This thickens up even more after chilling and keeps well in the fridge for several days.
