The Green Lemonade Trials, Part One

My blueberries are blooming, spring has sprung, and for me that brings a shift in diet. Instead of loading up on warm comfort foods I start eating more cool foods such as salads, and start drinking more juices. One of my favorite juices of all time is Green Lemonade. I love the tartness, and it's a great way to sneak those pesky vegetables into your diet. There are tons of green lemonade recipes out there, and this week it is my personal quest to discover the perfect green lemonade. I have a few recipes in mind, and below is the first recipe I am going to attempt. I'll follow up with my review of this recipe tomorrow.
