Ingredients

½ cup milk any kind
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 large ripe bananas frozen sliced
1 cup frozen pineapple
Dash of ground cinnamon
Whipped cream like Redi Whip optional

Instructions

Add the milk, Greek yogurt, frozen bananas, and frozen pineapple to a blender.
Blend on high speed until smooth.
Pour into glasses and garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

Notes

Think ahead and freeze your bananas and pineapple (if using fresh, not frozen). Smoothies are always best cold and refreshing.
If you completely forgot to freeze your fruit, add about a cup of ice to the blender. It won't be quite as tasty, but it will still be delicious and refreshing.
Freeze bananas with their jackets on or peel them and freeze them in zipper freezer bags. Freeze pineapple in zipper freezer bags as well.
Always cut the fruit into large pieces before placing the pieces in the blender.
Use any dairy milk or nondairy milk that you like including but not limited to cow's milk, almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.
Start out with a small amount of milk and see if that is enough for the blender to get moving. If not, add more milk in small increments.
Use slices of banana dipped in lemon juice as a garnish.
Smoothies are best consumed promptly after being made, but you can store them in the fridge for about an hour without compromising taste.
