Oh I forgot to add he will do smoothies too.
I make mine with 6-8 oz of any yogurt, ....and a bit of milk to smooth it out and fresh fruits and a bit of wheatgerm...Sometimes I will add a Gerber Stage 2 fruit or fruit combo for that whole extra 80 calories , cause like I said..he lives on air....

Does a nutri-grain bar or fruit flavored yogurt count? 
Honestly, maybe once if that  He HATES veggies, has even when he was an infant. And he goes through phases with fruit. He used to love bananas and now hates them. He has been on an apple kick lately but I dont want to overdue it and than have him get bored of them too 
ETA: Oh and he likes pickles  which I dont get at all. So I try to give him them occasionally. Not sure how much nutritional value they have though.

I'm not good with what a "serving size is" but...
Bella drinks a smoothie a day (1 banana...3-4 strawberries...handful of blueberries...sometimes some peaches or an apple thrown in...OJ and a yo Baby yogurt)
She'll usually eat a fruit in the afternoon as a snack...be it peaches or another apple.
She loves her fruit.
She'll always get a veggie at dinner.
I have to try the smoothie thing b/c he does like the drinkable yogurt and the Stoneyfield Farms yogurt drinks I buy for myself.

It's easy to get DS to eat fruit and nearly impossible to get him to eat veggies. If it even looks like something green is on his fork, he stares at it, looks at me or DH like we're crazy and simply says "no". I've taken to hiding the green and orange veggies in his mashed potato to get him to eat it. Regardless, he gets about 3 servings of fruit and 2 servings of veggies per day.

DS always gets a fruit with his breakfast. I try to sneak a veggie in with lunch & another fruit with lunch or a snack. I try to get another veggie at dinner but he usually refuses. Tomato sauce is a staple & veggies mixed in with something else sometimes work (example spinach in scrambled eggs or broccoli/potato pancakes). He will eat pureed veggies without any problem, so I do give them sometimes, I figure it can't hurt

Probably around 8. DD usually has a full banana for breakfast, 2 servings of veggies and 2 servings of fruits at lunch(baby food mixed in with her yogurt) and then usually a fruit with dinner...so I guess probably close to 8 servings a day...she will only eat babyfood veggies though....
We have a hard time getting her to eat any proteins though....

We're lucky to get 1 full serving of veggies a day. Fruit, on the other hand, is never a problem. DD would probably eat fruit, and only fruit, if we let her!
