Powder supplement scooping system and method

Abstract

A system for scooping powdered supplements. The system includes a container and a handle attached to the lid of the container. The lid covers the container when powdered protein is contained therein.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A system for scooping powder supplement comprising:
 a handle contiguously attached to a lid that covers a receptacle, said receptacle having an open end and a closed end, said lid covering said open end of said receptacle to prevent spillage of powder supplement contained therein, said closed end of said receptacle being permanently closed so that said closed end cannot be opened by a user, said handle being contiguously attached to a distal end of said lid, wherein when said receptacle is upright and said lid is closed, said handle extends alongside a wall of said receptacle in a downward and vertical direction from said lid and when said lid is opened to permit said user to scoop powder supplement, said handle moves with said lid away from the open end and moves said handle away from said wall of said receptacle.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a latch attached to an exterior of the lid for securely fastening the lid against the receptacle wall. 
     
     
         3 . A system comprising:
 a handle attached to a lid that is coupled to a receptacle, said receptacle having an open end and a closed end, said lid covering said open end of said receptacle to prevent spillage of powdered substance contained therein, said closed end of said receptacle being contiguous with walls of said receptacle, said handle being attached to a distal end of said lid, and wherein when said receptacle is upright and said lid is closed, said handle extends alongside a wall of said receptacle in a downward direction from said lid and when said lid is opened, said handle moves contemporaneously with said lid away from the wall of said receptacle.   
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3  wherein said receptacle is dimensioned for a single serve. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 3  further comprising a latch attached to an exterior of said lid for fastening said lid against a wall of said receptacle. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 3  further comprising a carrying case for a closed receptacle with powder supplement contained therein. 
     
     
         7 . A method for scooping a powdered substance from a canister to form a single serving of said powdered substance, said method comprising:
 providing a handle attached to a lid that is coupled to a receptacle, said lid for covering said receptacle;   using said receptacle to scoop a powdered substance from said canister to form a single serving of said powdered substance by opening said lid to permit scooping of said powdered substance so that said handle moves with said lid away from an open end of said receptacle and away from a wall of said receptacle; and   closing said receptacle to cover said powdered substance by moving said handle and said lid toward said open end of said receptacle and toward said latch on said wall of said receptacle to close said receptacle to prevent said powdered substance from spilling.
