A blender system comprising:
- a blender comprising:
- a bottle comprising a chamber;
- and
- a lid configured to couple with the bottle, the lid comprising a container receiver;
- and
- a container comprising:
- a nutrient receptacle cup to receive contents with a closed end and a receptacle opening opposite the closed end, the receptacle cup terminating in an inner lip surrounded by an outer lip at the receptacle opening and having a cover being fixed to the outer lip across the receptacle opening to enclose the ingredients therein;
- and
- the cover having at least one flap coupled to the nutrient receptacle cup via a flap hinge and positioned in a closed position to cover a portion of the receptacle opening, wherein the container receiver is configured to position the container such that coupling the lid to the bottle with the container in the container receiver causes the inner lip to advance toward the chamber relative to the outer lip so that the inner lip pushes the at least one flap to rotate on the flap hinge to an open position to discharge the contents into the chamber.
