What makes this spinach artichoke dip healthy?

This recipe is made healthier by swapping some of the cheese with healthier ingredients like greek yogurt to add some nutrition and reduce some of the fat. The Greek yogurt also adds some protein to this dip as well.

In addition, I replaced traditional mayo with healthier avocado mayo as well. All healthier swaps without sacrificing the creamy, delicious flavors and textures we all love in a spinach artichoke dip.
