Calories in Starbucks Classic Hot Chocolate with lactose-free milk run from 163 in a Short to 382 in a Venti, noticeably lighter than the whole milk version at every size.
A Grande comes to 309 calories with fat cut to 12.1g from whole milk’s 17.4g, while protein actually edges up slightly to 12.7g. That’s the one place on this menu where the lighter milk option gives a small protein bump rather than a trade-off, likely down to how the specific milk blend is formulated.
