Nando’s Has Dropped A New Plant-Based Protein, So That’s Your Meat-Free Days Sorted

Brought to you by Nando's

Nando’s. Now that’s Legendary.

Nando’s, our fearless leaders of flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken, have listened to the public, read the room, and picked up the vibe. They’ve just thrown a new plant-based protein option on the menu, which they’ve dubbed the Great Pretender.

Available in any burger, wrap, pita, salad, or paella, the legendary Great Pretender Protein is Nando’s first completely meat-free chicken alternative. Unlike the restaurant’s Superfood Veggie Patty (also delicious, obv), the Great Pretender patty has a similar taste and texture to real chicken, and it even caramelises on the grill.

This Great Pretender isn’t your average chicken substitute either. Of course it’s packed with protein, but it’s also been crafted with Nando’s OG signature flavours in mind. Inspired by the god-tier PERi-PERi recipe, it’s bursting with juicy flavours like lemon, herbs, garlic and Nando’s African Birds Eye Chilli.

Not to sound like a despo Bachelor contestant, but that means it’s ~*~meant to be~*~ with all your fave Nando’s sauces.

This means you can happily hoe into so many more menu items on your meat-free days, including crowd faves like the Classic Burger, the Halloumi Wrap, Superfuel Salad, or the new Power Up Bowl. Winner, winner, non-chicken dinner!

Queenslanders are already all over the Great Pretender – this legendary little invention has been trialled up north since Feb, and now the rest of Aus can finally taste it as well.

Tbh nothing we say here can compare to that first sweet, sweet bite of a Great Pretender Classic Burger, so you might as well get going. This is a game-changer. It’s a great day to smash a burger.
