Back to Basics BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

“Let your food be your medicine and your medicine your food.” – Hippocrates For nearly two decades, the family owned and run Back to Basics health food store has been Payson’s healthy alternative to the big box grocery stores. Now Michael Cole, the founder’s grandson, has added a new service. “When I first started working here, I listened to customers’ stories. Most were about health, so I asked myself, ‘Why don’t I open something to help?’” he said. A juice bar was Cole’s answer. Cole’s interest in health began at an early age. His father raised him vegetarian and he learned to love the taste of fresh fruit while helping his uncle make ice cream in Mexico. He even grew to love the taste of wheatgrass shots. Cole visited his mother and older brother in Payson during his summer holidays and when he grew to an adult, decided to move to Payson to learn more about his mother’s side of the family. He finds the experiences of his youth set him up perfectly to run the Smooth-N-It Juice-N-It Bar and Café. While the wheatgrass grows just inside the health food store, the juice bar sits in the back at 908 N. Beeline Highway.

Customers sit on stools as they watch Cole blend a smoothie, press fresh juice from organic produce, make an espresso or whip up a cup of chai. “People love my chai,” he said. Numerous bottles of supplements, herbs and vitamins line a shelf at the back of Michael Cole blends up a kiwi strawberry smoothie at Back to Basics Smooth-N-It Juice-N-It Juice Bar and Cafe. the booth. “If it wasn’t for the story.
