I usually use fruit only because I don't like to use milk in protein shakes (I rarely have it in the house, or if I buy it in a health food place they usually put like 20 million cups in and refuse to listen), plus fruit gives it that thickening you want. Of course, this is just my preference - I've read that it doesn't really help very much as it is processed in the liver...
However, in my opinion, that banana/pineapple combo can give you enough of a spike

Some fructose in your pwo shake may indeed be beneficial, especially if it was an enduring workout. Replenishing liver glycogen is a good thing. I remember years ago, Twinlab had a drink out called Power Fuel I believe it was. It was a good blend for pwo, contained a bit of fructose...not alot, as liver glycogen is restored fairly easily.

By the way, to add to my post, fruit has way less fructose than most think, it's a mix of glucose, sucrose and fructose. So don't feel bad about "some" fruit pwo.

To answer your original question, I use ground-up oats as my PWO carbs, but what you have above looks excellent. The rice cakes are a glucose-based carb source, the banana provides a bit of dextrose in addition to fructose, and skim milk is quite insulogenic as well as bumping up the protein.
