Hope

Rated at 2/5 green leaves, the Hope Plant-based Spinach Artichoke dip falls short of the clean eating standards set forth by our website. This product is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients, both of which are significant considerations for consumers seeking healthier food options.

The inclusion of additives like cane sugar is a drawback, as added sugars are often linked to negative health outcomes. Furthermore, the presence of “natural flavors” raises concerns, as this term can mask a range of undisclosed compounds that may not align with a clean eating philosophy.

This spinach artichoke dip’s base consists of water, sunflower oil, cashews, almonds, and artichoke hearts. These are complemented by onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, nutritional yeast, sea salt, coconut oil, and tapioca starch. However, the product’s healthfulness is undermined by the aforementioned added sugars and ambiguous natural flavors, which detract from the otherwise wholesome ingredients.

The product’s reliance on non-organic components and the use of cane sugar, which is a processed form of sugar, contribute to the lower green leaf rating. The health-conscious consumer is likely looking for products free from these elements, which are often avoided in cleaner food options.

The Hope Plant-based Spinach Artichoke dip, although plant-based and featuring a blend of nuts and vegetables, does not meet the high standards for clean eating due to its use of certain ingredients that are considered less desirable for a clean diet. Consumers are encouraged to look for products with higher green leaf ratings that reflect a commitment to organic, non-GMO, and additive-free ingredients for a cleaner and more healthful diet.
