This emerald green juice looks as vibrant as the tender new leaves of spring that bud shyly from tree branches and signal the warmer weather and longer days to come. This isn't green juice that tastes like lawn clippings, though—the cucumber adds soothing coolness, green apple adds tartness, celery stalks add a clean note, ginger adds nose-tickling spice, and fresh lemon juice adds a burst of sour citrus that brightens all of the flavors.
