Yogurt provides probiotics (live beneficial bacteria). However, many of these bacteria die in your stomach acid before they reach your colon. Bananas (especially slightly green ones) are rich in inulin and resistant starch, which are prebiotics. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that serve as the primary food source for probiotics. By pairing them, you are providing the "seeds" (yogurt) and the "fertilizer" (banana) simultaneously, ensuring the bacteria can colonize and improve your digestion.
