Pwo shake should contain 40gr protein and 80gr carbs.

greenmachine, is it a "no matter what" situation? What if the guy is 135 lbs or 300 lbs? Same shake? Curious...

Even when cutting, the PWO shake should have some simple carbs in the amount and ratio above.

A 2 to 1 ratio, yes, but the amounts of each won't be the same for every person no! I keep seeing people say "use 40 pro/80 dextrose in your pwo shake", but that advice is given to EVERYONE whether they are 140 lbs. or 400 lbs. It doesn't work like that!
To answer the initial question, a banana pwo does NOTHING BENEFICIAL at all to help you recover from a workout. As well, doing a "low carb" diet is fine, however post-workout is ONE TIME WHERE YOU DO NOT want to focus on low carbs. Not if lean mass preservation/gain is of remote importance to you.

I eat pasta on occassion in my 2nd pwo meal, yes, but I don't mix it with red meat, no. I use chicken breast as my protein source. As long as the pasta is in the correct amounts for your goals, then I see no issue w/it pwo. Many will "bloat" from it (gluten issue) but if you can get by with this and suffer no ill effects, then it's a carb that can be used yes.
