My view on this is basically:

Whole grains are not exactly healthy in and of themselves... The fiber can be good, but its not like you body actually needs anything from whole grains. So, I think I differ from your undertone... You don't need to make up ways to get whole grains into your diet.

What is important, though, is to get the refined grains OUT of your diet. So, the main push for adding whole grains is usually a proxy for "stop eating white bread you dumbass," with which I and most everyone would agree.

So, basically, I say add spinach to your smoothies, and skip the grains.
