Banana and pineapple are a tropical classic, creamy and tangy at once. Milk makes the smoothie rich, and cinnamon adds an unexpected warmth.

5 oz

Creamy and tropical, with sweet banana, tangy pineapple and a soft cinnamon warmth.
Pineapple and banana are both grown across the tropics and appear together in countless smoothies and fruit salads. Banana brings body and sweetness, pineapple juiciness, acidity and vitamin C. Milk makes the drink creamy and adds protein. Cinnamon is an unusual addition here, but its warm spice works well with the tropical fruit.
The smoothie is good for breakfast or after exercise. Fresh pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which can make milk taste slightly bitter if the smoothie stands, so drink it soon after blending.
Not with cow milk; use oat, soy or coconut drink to make it vegan.
Fresh pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down milk protein over time. Drink it fresh.
Yes, the smoothie then tastes purely fruity.
