A container includes a body including a lip portion, a base portion, and a wall structure extending between the lip portion and the base portion. The wall structure and the base portion define a cavity. The lip portion extends outwards from the wall structure. The body is configured to be received in a container receptacle defined within a container platform of a blending apparatus when the container platform is in a first position. The lip portion includes one or more engagement features to sealingly engage with a corresponding engagement feature of a blade assembly of the blending apparatus, restrict rotation of the container during rotation of blades of the blade assembly, and restrict translational motion of the lip portion relative to the surface of the container receptacle during rotation of the container platform from the first position to a second position or during rotation of the blades.

A device and to the use thereof for mixing material to be mixed. A method for providing material to be mixed has the following steps: provision of a container with a single container opening and an inner chamber which contains an initial filling, surrounding the container with a jacket, introduction of a mixer such that the mixer protrudes into the inner chamber of the container, wherein the mixer is connected to a drive unit or the mixer can be connected to a drive unit in a subsequent step, rotary driving of the mixer using the drive unit in order to provide the material to be mixed by mixing the initial filling, removal of the mixer from the inner chamber of the container, separation of container and jacket in order to provide the container with all of the material to be mixed located inside, for consumption.

A dispensing container and adapter system for use with a planetary mixer is disclosed. The dispensing container has a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis. The dispensing container may include a nozzle and a removable cap to cover the nozzle. The removable cap may have a first width dimension measured along the transverse axis. The dispensing container may include a body having a second width dimension measured along the transverse axis. An adapter may receive the dispensing container. The adapter may include a cavity to receive the removable cap. The cavity may have a cavity width that exceeds the first width dimension. The adapter may also include a recess for receiving a portion of the dispensing container. The recess may extend from the cavity. At least a portion of the recess may have a width dimension smaller than both the first width dimension and the second width dimension.
