How is this Skinny?

Compared to what you can buy on the shelf, this comes in at about 4 carbs per serving where most come in around 12. It is also lower in saturated fats.

Can I leave out the Peanut Butter Powder?

You can but it will be very bitter. The dark cocoa is not sweet at all, the peanut butter powder adds a little smooth texture as well as provides balance to the bitterness.

How long will it last?

This can be kept at room temperature in an airtight container for two weeks. If it lasts that long!
