Before You Dive Into This Delicious Recipe… 🍲

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever said, “I know I should eat more plants... but I just don’t know how to make it work in real life?”

If so—you’re not alone. And you’re exactly who I created The PlantWhys Collective for.

It’s not a diet. It’s not a challenge.
It’s a lifestyle shift for real women with real lives—who want to feel better, lose weight, and stop feeling overwhelmed by all the “shoulds” when it comes to food.

✅ A gentle, step-by-step 40-day Jumpstart
✅ Weekly live support + check-ins with certified coaches
✅ Quick, feel-good Pilates workouts (just 5 minutes a day)
✅ Monthly mindset coaching and book club

You’ll see everything laid out clearly—whether you want to dip your toe in monthly or go all-in for the year.

You don’t need to go plant-based overnight.
You just need a simple path—and someone to walk it with you.

Artichoke Dip (WFPB & Dairy-Free!)

artichoke dip dairy-free dip vegan appetizer Apr 27, 2024

Artichoke Dip
Makes: 2 cups • Total Time: 20 minutes • FODMAP rating: high

This dip is a crowd pleaser and will surprise everyone that it is purely made from whole plants and not ultra-processed like traditional artichoke dip. The cornstarch is the secret to making it gooey like cheese, so be sure not skip that step.

Ingredients
1 cup raw cashews, soaked
2 ½ cups water
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 (14 oz) canned artichoke hearts
1 (4 oz) can mild green chilis
1 ¼ cup or 10 oz boiled fresh or frozen spinach, optional

Instructions
In a blender, add cashews (soaked for smoother texture), water, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder and blend until smooth.
Add mixture into a saucepan, constantly stirring until it thickens.
Mix in artichoke hearts, chilis, and spinach.
Stir until well combined and pour into a serving bowl and serve with vegetables, chips, or crackers.

*Don’t forget to preload on veggies before you eat!
*Nut-Free: Soak sunflower seeds instead of cashews, which may alter flavor
*FODMAP Swap: Start with 10 cashews and fill the rest of the cup with sunflower seeds and increase cashew portions as tolerated; use appropriate substitutions for garlic and onion (see introduction) or start with ½ teaspoon of garlic and onion per serving and increase as tolerated; start with ⅓ cup portions of artichoke hearts and increase as tolerated
