Abstract

A shaker bottle with a lid containing a pod sealed capsule for mixing a health beverage consists of a cylindrical shaker bottle with a lid cover attached to the bottle. The lid cover incorporates, a circumferential flange, a pod sealed capsule receptacle including an inner pod sealed capsule cutter, and a spout extending from the lid cover. A pod sealed capsule retaining cap with mating internal connectors interface with the pod sealed capsule receptacle. The pod sealed capsule retaining cap has external connectors and cap yoke arms each including a recessed stopper socket. An outlet spout stopper interfaces with the yoke arm sockets, such that when a liquid is placed in the bottle, the lid cover is screwed on, a pod sealed capsule is positioned upside down in the receptacle and manually depressed, the cap is connected to the lid cover by rotating, the pod sealing capsule is simultaneously cut open and when the bottle is manually agitated a health beverage is produced.
