My question is, what is the best way to approach a green light?

With those kinds of lights, there isn't any good way. The best bad way is probably stay at constant speed, using as little throttle as possible, hope for the best but don't get your hopes up. I do okay on the lights that have the countdown timers and the few that are timed well, but in general, green lights are a crap shoot that I lose more than I win. One bad light makes a big difference to trip mileage on a short trip too. Very frustrating when they change the timing from one day to the next so you can't plan ahead.
