Spinach artichoke dip – who doesn’t love it?! It’s creamy, ooey-gooey goodness that is sure to be a huge crowd pleaser. But we wanted to change it up just a little. So we are happy to introduce these paleo twice baked potatoes – spinach and artichoke style.
Twice baked potatoes are a fun way to get the whole family involved in making dinner. From scooping out the potatoes to mixing the filling up, you can add in a dance party and call it a perfect night in! So grab your loved ones and have fun with this tonight.
As for taste – don’t be fooled. Even though there is absolutely no dairy in this recipe, there is still plenty of creamy tastiness to go around! That’s from the ample amount of coconut cream we use. And you’ll also still taste a slight cheesiness because of the addition of nutritional yeast (seriously, this stuff is MAGIC!). These go perfectly as a side to your next meal, or could even be the main dish! The best part is, whatever you don’t eat will reheat wonderfully as leftovers.
