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!

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!

This was a huge hit at my house!!
That’s great to hear!
Yummm. Yes, to making everything and anything in a crockpot… especially Spinach Dip.
Aren’t they great?! Can’t ever go wrong.
Love delicous low calorie recipes as well as heart healthy recipes. YUM, thank you!
So glad you love the recipe
Now I’m in a pickle. My family is getting together for Christmas tomorrow and my aunt called me today to bring something. This recipe could not have been easier, I think the hardest part of this recipe was going to the store to pick up some last minute items. I opted to cook this on my stove instead of in a crockpot, 10 min on low came out nice. Now here is my problem. I just tasted it, and it’s delicious!!! I gave some to my husband and he keeps sneaking into the kitchen for more. I don’t think it’s going to make it to the party tomorrow! I should have made extra for us tonight!
I am definitely going to try this, May have to add just a sprinkle of dried bacon bits to entice my husband to eat his spinach. Thanks for the recipe.
Ha!!! I like the bacon bits idea! Hope you love it :)
This looks amazing! Do you think the recipe would still hold if I used a can of artichokes instead of the water chestnuts?
Yes I think as long as you drained them completely that would be really tasty!
Thank you for this recipe. It was yummy! I approximated the calories to be about 131 per serving using Livestrong’s My Plate.
So glad you loved it, and thanks for the calorie count, that is really good to know!
Hi, just wanted to let you know the recipe says “0 ounces frozen chopped spinach” I didn’t that was correct. :)
You are SO right! That is definitely not correct :) Thanks so much for catching it. I’m going in to edit it now!
You’re welcome! :)
Sounds so easy that even I can do it. My cooking skills are dangerously close to nonexistent and I love spinach dip so I’m excited to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Tamra. I haven’t found a good app to track nutritional data yet. I’m hoping to add that in the future. I think it would be valuable info as well. Sorry for the inconvenience!
This looks so good, I can’t believe how healthy it is! One for the recipe file for sure :)
Thanks Serena!! I hope you love the recipe :)
