Healthy Spinach and Artichoke Dip

I was in the mood to try some new Vitamix recipes today. Both turned out in strange colors but were really good. This "spinach and artichoke" dip is more like a bean and artichoke dip, but is very good and healthy, nonetheless. Next time I will probably use a food processor instead of the Vitamix. It was hard to pulse in the Vitamix which is why it turned out so smooth and green instead of chunky like normal spinach and artichoke dip.

Ingredients

about 1 cup scallions, chopped

1 15 oz can cannellnni beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup cashews

1/2 cup non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)

1 to 2 garlic cloves

3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

5 ounces fresh spinach

1 15 oz can artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained

Blend all ingredients together in a high speed blender,except for the spinach and artichoke hearts, until very smooth.

Add the spinach and artichokes and pulse through to keep some chunky texture.

Put in an oven safe dish and bake for 20 minutes.
