½ block light cream cheese
½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

Wipe out pan, then add garlic and onion to pan and sauté for ~5 mins until onion starts to caramelize, then add spinach and cook for another ~2 mins until spinach is cooked down. Add garlic, onion, and spinach to bowl with bacon.
3. Add shredded chicken, mozzarella, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, and dry ranch to the bowl with bacon, and onion/spinach mixture. Mix throughly!
4. Remove squash from oven, shred insides with for to create “noodles” then add to large bowl with other ingredients and mix well. Either store mixture in bowl or scoop it back into the squash skin for serving and enjoy!
