I'm looking for a good protein shake for a female who does NOT want to gain weight to drink. Like I said, I don't want to gain weight, but I do want to gain muscle. What would be a good one for me?

I'd recommend whey protein. It's generally considered the best fast uptake protein available. Most quality brands are pretty comparable to each other. They should contain multivitimins/minerals, BCAAs and non-essential aminos (these are a natural by product of whey), no sugar or fat, or carbs of any kind. If you need extra carbs you can get that from other supplements such as dextrin.
My personal preference is Optimum Whey by ON. It tastes good, has a variety of flavors, and isn't terribly expensive. You can get it from www.bodybuilding.com. Otherwise, any decent powder from a local nutrition store should serve.
The problem with Ensure and other similar products is that they contain sugar. https://ensure.com/products/index.aspx

Most good protein powders aren't fattening and don't contain much sugar. I am male but this is good for male or female. I use Nytro Whey by Prosource. At prosource.net Excellent quality and good price. Might not be worth it if you are only buying one bottle.....with shipping. Any ones you find at your health food store are good. Just make sure it is 100% whey protein. Whey protein is absorbed faster and more efficiently by the muscles. GNC is ridiculously overpriced so check prices on prosource first if you go to GNC.

Try a meal replacement shake called Ensure, It's filled with protein and vitamins with hardly any fat in it.
If you want a more tasty drink try a jamba juice 100% pure fruit smoothie with added soy protein.

Amplify chocolate is a good protein shake made in blender. Buy it at GNC.
