I may use both options (hacer puré and licuar) in different places, but it seems that here licuar is better. Puré makes one think more of mashed potatoes.
Thanks to everyone!

licúe, licuado


Explanation:
Sólo porque en inglés se refiere a algo hecho puré, no debe traducirse literalmente. Si algo se mete en una licuadora, generalmente se licúa.

agree  Gustavo Garrido: Totalmente de acuerdo, además si tenemos en cuenta los ingredientes utilizados, lo que obtenemos tendrá una consistencia demasiado líquida como para llamarlo puré. Y ni hablar del valor idiomátido de "haceu puré", al menos en Argentina.
