Calling all flexitarians: a new item has been added to Nando's menu in Australia that deserves your utmost attention, an item that has well and truly switched up the game.

The chicken extraordinaires have introduced a new plant-based protein named the Great Pretender as a base to their favourite items.

That means now even when you're having a day off meat or avoiding it altogether, just swap the chicken for Great Pretender Protein and you'll still be able to feast on many of Nando's delicious burgers, pitas, wraps, salads or paella.

The Great Pretender Protein has been trialled in Queensland since February and the reaction has been so good that they have rolled it out nationwide. We're salivating just thinking about it.

Nando's

Nando's Australia has tinkered with the high-protein, plant-based chicken alternative in order to make it taste as amazing as possible, especially considering some of the meat alternatives that you can get at the supermarket can be a bit bland.

Nando's Head of Food, Mario Manabe, says the Great Pretender is made with their iconic PERi-PERi recipe and he's sure people across Australia will love it.

"The Great Pretender combines Nando's signature ingredients like lemon, herbs and garlic, which all pair so well with our Nando's African Bird's Eye Chilli," he said.

"It has a very similar texture to a chicken patty, including coarseness, colour and juiciness, and even caramelises and smells like meat when being grilled."

For all those people who might not be able to handle their spice, there really is something for everyone. Just like their signature PERi-PERi chicken, the Great Pretender Protein is basted in your choice of PERi-PERi, ranging from BBQ or Lemon & Herb all the way to Extra Hot.

So, if you've been hankering for a cheeky Nando's meal but without the chicken, now you have way more options thanks to the legendary Great Pretender Protein.
