While juicing is a great way to get the vital nutrients the body needs, it's a big investment. For a smart sip that won't break the bank, try these healthy drinks that require no equipment to make.

Green tea: There are plenty of good reasons that green tea goes hand in hand with a healthy Winter plan. It helps increase metabolism [1], aids in flu prevention, and calms nerves. It's also an ideal replacement for coffee if you're trying to lower your caffeine intake.

Apple cider vinegar: If you can handle the tangy flavor, apple cider vinegar deserves a home in your cabinet. It's been shown to boost the immune system and energy levels, which is a huge help if you feel like you're coming down with a nasty bug. If you're already in the thick of a sinus infection, try this apple cider vinegar brew [2] to soothe your symptoms.

Almond milk: Whether you purchase it at the store or make your own homemade almond milk [3], it's a healthy and tasty beverage. With fewer calories and no cholesterol, it's the perfect alternative for someone who is constantly craving cow's milk. And if you have a blender at home, it's also a great addition to a healthy smoothie [4]!

Water: There is nothing boring about the bevy of benefits that good old H2O boasts — especially during the Winter months [5]. But for anyone who is not particularly fond of water's flavor, there are plenty of ways to make water taste better [6], like adding a slice of lemon for some extra detox power.
