The 20 Best Decaf Starbucks Drinks

1. Peppermint White Hot Chocolate

Just because you’re looking for decaf Starbucks drinks doesn’t mean you should give up all the delicious flavors. That’s where the Peppermint White Hot Chocolate drink comes in. This drink takes hot chocolate to a different stratosphere with its minty taste.

It consists of white chocolate mocha sauce, steamed milk, and peppermint-flavored syrup to give you a decadent drink with no caffeine. The toppings for this rich hot chocolate are whipped cream and dark chocolate curls galore.

Peppermint White Chocolate contains 520 calories and 74 grams of sugar. It is the most decadent hot cocoa on our list, but we have a few other decaf options below for those who don’t like peppermint or white chocolate.


2. Skinny Hot Chocolate

If you’re not a white chocolate lover, the Skinny Hot Chocolate might be more your style. This hot cocoa is made from steamed non-fat milk and bittersweet mocha skinny sauce and topped with a layer of foam for a delicious treat.

It contains 170 calories, which is much less than the Peppermint White Hot Chocolate, and it only has 17 grams of sugar. This is different from regular hot cocoa, as it uses foam instead of whipped cream and another type of syrup, meaning fewer calories and less sugar!

If you love sugar, this might not be as sweet as you want it to be, but if you’re more of a bittersweet drinker, you’ll love it.


3. White Hot Chocolate

If you’re a white chocolate lover but want to skip the peppermint, ordering a decaffeinated White-Hot Chocolate might be your cup of tea (or hot chocolate). This is just like a traditional cup of hot chocolate but is white.

This one comprises white chocolate sauce, steamed milk, and a heaping scoop of whipped cream topping. It is a hot drink with 440 calories and 55 grams of sugar, so if you’re watching your weight, you might want to order this delicious drink sparingly.

The most significant difference between this and regular cocoa is the lack of caffeine in the White Hot Chocolate. Few people realize that regular hot chocolate has caffeine, so this is the ideal beverage when looking for decaf, white chocolate, and a delicious flavor.


4. Vanilla Crème Steamer

If you’re looking for a drink made for the fall and winter, the Starbucks’ Vanilla Crème Steamer is a perfect choice, especially if you love vanilla. This hot, steamed drink contains 350 calories and 43 grams of sugar, so a bit on the high side.

If you love vanilla-flavored beverages, need something to warm up, and don’t like coffee, this is the drink for you.


5. Strawberry Funnel Cake Crème Frappuccino

You’ll find strawberry puree throughout the drink and a heaping dose of whipped cream on top. On top of that decadence, it has funnel cake pieces and powdered sugar.
