Question about portions???

I'm really trying hard to get down my 3 servings of fruit and veggies..... so this is my question...


I just made a smoothie..... a whole banana, a whole apple, a container of peach yogurt, ice cubes, 1/2 cup of water, a 1/2 tsp of flax powder, and 2 tsp of lecithin.       Can I count that apple and banana as 2 portions.... 


Can one make a smoothie with veggies?    If you make and eat a HUGE salad is that more than one portion of veggies if you put lots of different things on it? 


(don't worry I've got my carrot sticks on the counter and some cherry toms also.... and a peach for later.... )
