Creamy Spinach & Tomatoes

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Coconut milk offers a dairy-free option while still providing creaminess.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a lower-calorie alternative that adds a cheesy flavor.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella
