Abstract
A dispensing capsule provides metered dispensing of powder from a large storage tub or smaller travel container to a shaker bottle or a water bottle. The dispensing capsule may be releasably attached to a protein tub lid or smaller travel container lid, which provides a metering of powder (without the need for a scooper) from the protein tub or smaller travel container and a dispensing of the metered powder into a shaker bottle or water bottle (without the need for a scooper). As well as being used as a metering device, the dispensing capsule doubles as a single serving storage container that can be more easily transported for later dispensing to a shaker bottle or water bottle at the location of consumption.
