# Vegan Shawarma Alternatives This Meat Alternative by Chef-Man Recreates Shawarma By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-03-18 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meat-alernative References: [chef-man.net](http://www.chef-man.net/?utm_campaign=buffer&utm_content=bufferf6d0f&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com) 'Shwarma' is a meat alternative by Chef-Man that's all-natural, gluten-free and vegan. The product also boasts an ingredient list that's free from artificial ingredients, fillers, sugar, cholesterol and preservatives. However, a few of the things that the product is rich in includes protein and dietary fiber. In comparison to real chicken, Chef-Man's Shwarma contains 90% less fat content. In addition to selling "chicken" shawarma, Chef-Man also makes pre-cooked and pre-seasoned "beef" cubes, BBQ bites and Mexican "chicken" strips.
