Blending in essence is the same as juicing but you leave the fiber in. Irregardless of what you want to classify leafy green as "not vegetables" let's just say it is not fruit and in any food combining source I ever read you always eat fruit separate from other foods. In concentrated form as in blending or juicing the digestive/nutrient absorbtion process will happen at and accelerated rate since since all the hard work of digestion of breaking the fibers down has already esentially been done. So I would say that any conflicts in food combining will be more of an issue.

I asked some questions in the juicing forum and below is what someone provided:

"it is better not to mix fruits and vegetables at the same meal. The reason for this advice is based on their respective digestive times. If the stomach contains a mixture of fruits and vegetables, the fruits have to be kept around longer than is optimal in order for the vegetable digestion to arrive at the same stage that the fruits arrived at earlier. Again, this delayed digestion is potentially complicated by fermentation and chemical change of the fruit sugars that are delayed from absorption and use by the body while it is waiting for the rest of the batch of vegetables to process. Fruits, being softer and containing a lot of water, are more easily and quickly digested. In contrast, vegetables have less water, less natural sugars and more fiber than fruits, thus having a longer digestive time. The time needed between meals to ensure the stomach is ready for the next meal is usually about 5 hours."
