In addition to the smoothie, also give your children a good quality multi-vitamin, a 500 mg vitamin C, and a vitamin B12 every day.
I try to remember to give them another C after school too. It is pretty much impossible to take too much vitamin C and it is used up very quickly by your body. Vitamin C is extremely powerful to your immune system. It has even been shown in studies dating back to the 30s to cure such major diseases as diptheria and polio in high doses, which I think is a huge testimony to it's importance to our immune system.
Vitamin B12 should be absorbed in the mouth for best effect, which is why I don't add it to the smoothie. Make sure when you are buying B12 that you check the label. It should say with folic acid (aids absorption) and ingredients should not have anything that starts with "cyan or cian", yes, had to believe, but meaning cianide.
