  3. Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and vibrant pink, about 30-45 seconds. Pause to scrape down sides if needed.
  4. If you prefer a smoother juice, pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing with a spatula to extract liquid while leaving pulp behind.
