Happy Friday! This week for our Foodie Friday with American Express, let’s talk about GAME DAY RECIPES. The big game is upon us therefore it’s currently ALL about finger foods, appetizers, dips, and festive main dishes for Football Sunday and the big day. I’m on board since these are some of my favorite types of eats! I love the challenge of making everybody’s favorite game-day food guilt-free.
Spinach & Artichoke Dip is one of my FAVORITES. Every time I ordered the calorie content was always discussed making it slightly less enjoyable (slightly). I love cashew cream and its versatility. I use it to make savory creamy recipes and sweet vegan ‘cheesecake’ like recipes. Such a WIN.
I topped ours with Kerrygold Grass-Fed Chedder, but simply leave it off for a fully dairy-free option, or if you can’t find a good quality cheese!

Spinach and Artichoke is basically a Game Day Staple. And then you went and made it healthier and now I want to MARRY this dip. Pinned!
YUM! I love artichoke and spinach dip but never thought to make it with cashew cream–that is brilliant!! I wish I had this recipe when I was dairy free, but glad to have it now 🙂
Oh.. the cashew butter sounds awesome in this recipe Lexi would add a nice nuttiness! Can’t wait to try this, spinach dip is one of my favorite!
Can we substitute with almonds cream?
Confession- I hadn’t tried this infamous dip until I was in America and fell in love…I may or may not have also eaten the bread bowl it came in. Another winner buddy!
OH girl you just found my favorite appetizer but now I get to have it guilt free. WIN!
Lexi,
Is the cashew cream essential to the recipe? Can it be substituted or removed? We have a nut allergy in the house.
Thanks, love all your recipes!!

This is my FAVORITE dip ever! It’s such a relief to have a version I can actually eat safely 🙂
I’m so happy you liked it!!!
Oh my gosh this looks absolutely amazing!! I haven’t had spinach artichoke dip in ages but how fun to make a dairy-free version! I’m going to make it this weekend!
I had the same question about the cashew cream…nut allergy….can something be substituted or can it be left out?
Thanks!
Where do you find cashew cream..what section of store.
You make it!
Can I leave the cashews out?
I subbed cauliflower puree for the cashew cream and it is AMAZING!!! It’s better than getting it at a restaurant and guilt free, SO SO GOOD!!
Are the cashews raw or are they roasted? Every time I see a recipe that calls for soaking cashews, it never says one way or the other
Raw!
