I checked the images for ingredients and do not see any caffeine listed. I definitely don't recall the product I bought having any coffee buzz only the flavor, which is artificial. This is the link to the amazon product ingredients image if it helps. Best to you https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71FMpOH1O7L._SL1312_.jpg **Q: It says 30 in description and 24 on item . What is it?** A: I love that drink. I do not know why it says 30. **Q: Do any Ensure drinks have '0' dairy content and low sugar?** A: They contain milk protein concentrate and sugar. The "standard" version is often marketed as a meal replacement drink for diabetics, so I would *assume* fairly low sugar. Best bet is to check the label at the grocery for the style (e.g. regular, added fiber, etc) you're interested in. **Q: How do I buy this?** A: grocery store, drug store, amazon ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***E on March 3, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***B on April 21, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***E on March 26, 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - Ensure Original Dark Chocolate Nutrition Shake | Small Meal Replacement Shake | Ready To Drink | 9g Protein, 27 Vitamins and Minerals | 8 fl oz - 24 Pack - Ensure Original Vanilla Nutrition Shake with Fiber| Meal Replacement Shake | Ready To Drink | 9g Protein, 27 Vitamins and Minerals | 8 fl oz - 24 Pack - Ensure High Protein Nutritional Shake, 16g Protein, Meal Replacement Shakes, With Nutrients to Support Immune System Health, Strawberry, 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 24) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3638740-ensure-original-dark-chocolate-nutrition-shake-small-meal-replacement-shake](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3638740-ensure-original-dark-chocolate-nutrition-shake-small-meal-replacement-shake) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
