Art Smith, who served as personal chef to Oprah, is known for his healthier twists on southern cuisine.
The celebrity chef used plant-based versions of his favorite meals to help him fight Type II diabetes and lose 120 pounds.
One of Smith’s more popular southern comfort meals with a vegan twist is his cassoulet.
This casserole that may usually feature ham or ground turkey sausage is enriched with black-eyed peas instead.
“As a chef living with type 2 diabetes, I know that managing the way you eat can be challenging,” said Smith. “That’s why I’ve started cooking up delicious, diabetes-friendly dishes that the whole family can enjoy. I want to show people that having type 2 diabetes doesn’t mean you have to make separate meals or feel alone at meal time.”
A vegetarian or vegan diet is a great way to fight diabetes and many other diseases associated with food, such as those of the heart and obesity.
If you’re fighting diabetes or trying to prevent it from attacking you to begin with, start replacing meaty meals with ones like Art’s cassoulet today.
