Smoothies: Nutrition Solution for Picky Eaters

SMOOTHIES! My girls are going through a picky eater phase right now. They are more interested in rice crackers and hummus than veggies right now (although hummus is made from chickpeas). To combat this attitude and pump some good stuff into them I have been making them smoothies. Some typical items I add to them are:

bananas (a smoothie MUST for the creaminess)
assorted berries
peaches
spinach
prunes
flax seed
carrot juice
blueberry acai juice
apple juice
assorted melons
papaya
kiwi
soy milk (makes them creamy)

I want to start adding a larger variety of veggies but I need to upgrade my blender a little first. I’ve considered adding a little protein powder too. I don’t have any and I’m not sure what kind to get!
