Questions people ask about Banana Punch

How long does Banana Punch take?

About 20 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is a bit of work. That is start-to-finish, so it works on a weeknight when you have not planned anything.

Can I make Banana Punch ahead of time?

You can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat gently. It keeps two days in the fridge, though it is best on the day.

Is Banana Punch vegetarian?

Yes, and as written it is vegan too. Check your specific brands if that matters to you.

How long does home-made banana punch keep?

Best made and drunk the same day. Anything blended with fruit separates within a couple of hours, so stir or shake it before pouring.
