An apparatus and method for containing and mixing a food product for direct distribution to a consumer. The container (114) includes an agitator (118) for mixing the food product (116), optionally with an added liquid (124) such as water, milk or juice. The agitator may be incorporated into the base of the container. The agitator remains coupled to the container, which container can be made disposable/recyclable, which therefore provides an expedient method for food delivery.
