Healthier Spinach and Artichoke Dip - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 c. protein- and calcium-fortified nonfat milk, such as Skim Plus (it's thicker than regular skim milk)
- 1/2 c. finely chopped onion
- 1/4 c. finely chopped red bell pepper
- 2 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 c. grated Romano cheese

- 1 plum tomato
- 4 oz. tortilla chips
- A few shavings of Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk flour and milk in a large saucepan until blended; stir in onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Turn on burner and bring mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until it starts to bubble and thickens to the consistency of heavy cream, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low; whisk in Romano cheese and cook, stirring constantly, until melted.
- Stir in spinach, artichokes, salt, and pepper, then simmer, uncovered on low heat, 5 minutes. Spoon into a serving dish. Scatter top with diced tomato and shaved Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve with chips.
