Ensure Max Protein Cafe Mocha is a ready-to-drink protein shake supplement. It has 9.09 mg of caffeine per ounce and a total of 100 mg of caffeine in an 11oz bottle.

While it has a mocha latte flavor, this is actually not a coffee drink at all. According to the company, the 100 mg of caffeine is added to the beverage as there is no naturally occurring caffeine.

Synthetic caffeine will have the same effect on energy levels as naturally occurring caffeine.

Although the caffeine content would be low enough to enjoy multiple bottles a day, we would not recommend doing so due to the high protein content and other stimulants included.
