A major food chain has sent gym-goers into an absolute frenzy after dropping the highest-density protein burger in the country.<\/p>\n
The new Grill\u2019d \u2018Protein Pro\u2019 burger packs a whopping 81 grams of protein \u2013 more than double what you\u2019d find in a standard meat-and-cheese burger at any typical fast-food outlet.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The move comes as Aussies continue to gravitate towards health-conscious food choices, particularly in the wake of the viral \u2018proteinmaxxing\u2019 trend currently dominating TikTok and Instagram.<\/p>\n
The monster burger retails for $23 and comes with double grilled RSPCA Certified chicken breast, crispy bacon, tasty cheese, cos lettuce, tomato, Spanish onion, avocado, relish, and herbed mayo.<\/p>\n
But the secret weapon behind the protein contents is actually it\u2019s gluten-free bun made from whole food ingredients including almonds, eggs, and coconut that delivers nearly 16 grams of protein before you even add the patties.<\/p>\n
The spotlight on gluten-free alternatives comes in the wake of the recent Sopha Dopha Sydney Aiport drama,<\/a> which sparked a national conversation about just how difficult it can be to find safe, gluten-free fast food while out and about.<\/p>\n Alongside the Protein Pro, Grill\u2019d has also dropped two other high-protein, allergy-friendly options including the \u2018Super Nourished\u2019 chicken burger hitting at over 50 grams of protein, and the grass-fed beef \u2018Powerhouse\u2019 burger delivering 40g of protein.<\/p>\n Julian Dunne, Chief Marketing Officer at Grill\u2019d, said the protein-heavy menu addition has been one of the most sought-after items the chain has ever dropped.<\/p>\n \u201cThe High Performance range launch has been one of our most successful menu launches in recent years,\u201d Mr Dunne said.<\/p>\n \u201cOur high protein burgers are all selling well above target, with double digit growth across the category.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Protein Pro in particular with 81g of protein has been our bestseller and is selling well above expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018Need to try immediately\u2019 She was filmed biting into the burger with widened eyes, as fans quickly flocked to the comments section to weigh in.<\/p>\n \u201cThat looks outstanding,\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n Others chimed in to say they couldn\u2019t wait to try the new menu for themselves.<\/p>\n Another popular fitness creator, Lex Bell, took to Instagram to share that the burger had exceeded all of her expectations.<\/p>\n
Fitness and wellness influencer Lily Bowman, who boasts over one million followers, went viral on TikTok <\/a>in a video where she was seen literally running to Grill\u2019d to try the new range.<\/p>\n
