A container restraint assembly includes a base that may have a container positioned thereon. A stop is coupled to the base and the stop may engage the container. A retainer is movably coupled to the base wherein the retainer may be manipulated by a user. The retainer is positionable in an engaging position to compress the container against the stop. Thus, contents of the container may be mixed without the container tipping over. The retainer is positionable in a releasing position to allow the container to be removed from the base.
