Sometimes I put lettuce in it or peaches or a plum. Looking to try other things for a variety.

Here's a thought: If it tastes good, it's probably going to cause a problem. I know that's an oversimplification. What I mean is that you may put a lot of very healthy items in your blender, but to make it taste the way you want it to taste you then include something like dairy, honey, Carnation Instant Breakfast mix etc.. Those items are acidic.
This is just a suggestion...something you might try to see if it helps:
Forget about the blender, it's a really bad idea in the first place. That's because: 1) there's a tendency to add a lot of processed junk that's not going to do you any good and likely may do harm. 2) When you drink your nutrition, there's no chewing required, so it all goes down with less digestive juices (i.,e.,saliva).
A healthy alternative: Take the fruit, like blueberries, banana, cantaloupe, grapes, grapefruit, peach, etc.., and cut the fruit up into small pieces (except for the blueberries) to fill a small cereal bowl. Don't add milk or sugar, just eat plain fruit. And eat it very slowly after chewing. What happens in your mouth is the first step in the digestive process. As you chew, the food gets mixed with digestive juices (saliva). If the purpose is to make it a snack, it may be helpful to add a small quantity of chopped (raw/unsalted) nuts.
