Crockpot Spinach Dip Recipe - The Cookie Rookie® (2024)

Crockpot Spinach Dip is a delicious and healthy(er) way to enjoy spinach parmesan dip at your next tailgate party. This easy spinach dip is the perfect appetizer! It’s so tasty and it’s a healthy spinach dip you won’t feel guilty about eating!

Why We Love This Crockpot Spinach Dip Recipe

I love having delicious dips for every party, especially on game day! And it’s always nice to make something with fewer calories, so I turned everybody’s favorite dip into a healthy spinach dip recipe. That’s right, this creamy, cheesy hot spinach dip is actually pretty low in calories, thanks to a few substitute ingredients.

• Easy. This recipe is pretty hands-off because it’s made in a slow cooker. Plenty of time to make drinks!
• Creamy. Greek yogurt is my healthy secret weapon because it gives you a creamy texture while making your favorite dishes a bit lighter.
• Healthier. You can skip the calories without missing out on taste!

Slow Cooker Spinach Dip Healthy Swaps

We use low-fat Greek yogurt to lighten up this indulgent dip. A couple of other easy swaps include light sour cream and low-fat mozzarella cheese. It’s simple replacements like these that can make all the difference!

How to Store and Reheat

Store leftover crockpot spinach dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the crockpot on the “warm” setting.

How to Freeze

You can freeze this dip, but it may have a different texture once thawed. To freeze, divide the dip into portions and seal in Ziplock bags. The dip should keep frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating and serving.

Serving Suggestions

My favorite thing to serve with this healthy spinach dip is baked pita chips! They are a lighter and healthier alternative to other chips, plus they just taste so good with the spinach parmesan flavor. They tend to hold up well too, so they’re perfect for dipping (the more dip you can fit on your chip, the better!).

But this dip goes well with any kind of chips or crackers, so serve it with whatever you have, or set out a variety of options. It’s also the perfect thing to serve with crostini! You could also try these homemade baked tortilla chips for another fun dipping option, or these crispy wonton chips!
