Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Thaw the frozen spinach by microwaving it in a microwave-safe bowl for 2-3 minutes. Once thawed, use paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
Spray a medium baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened low-fat cream cheese and non-fat Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped artichoke hearts, drained spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly. The top should turn slightly golden.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the dip cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Serve warm with your choice of dippers, such as fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or toasted baguette slices.
