The main goal of taking carbs post workout is to restore glycogen levels and decrease the build up of cortisol due to the stress u have just put ur muscles through. For this to happen u need ur insulin levels to spike. Although fruit is packed with sugar (sucrose) it does not give u the desired insulin spike ur looking for. Even ordinary table sugar is inferior to dextrose or virtargo.
The best would be as DJ stated above with protein and virtago or protein with a dextrose/maltodextrine combo.

I forgot to add that the addition of dextrose increases the absorbsion of ur whey, creatine, glutamine etc as it acts as a transport to drive the nutrients into ur depleted muscle cells
