Over the last few years, the term “girl dinner” has become more than just a viral trend, it’s basically a way of life. And if you aren’t familiar with what girl dinner is, it’s basically just a low-effort approach to dining that pulls together a few things you already have on hand that don’t require any cooking. It’s all about finding easy solutions to curb your hunger.

Unsurprisingly, girl dinner is getting a bit of a challenge with the arrival of a new viral trend known as “boy kibble.” Unlike girl dinner, there does seem to be some more work involved in pulling together this meal option. While this is still a low-effort meal option, this time there is some heat involved. If you are looking for something that is a bit more hearty at meal times, then the boy kibble trend might be for you, as this is a meal that gives you protein and carbs for a more balanced dining experience.

Typically a boy kibble plate starts with a protein like chicken or beef and then a carb, such as rice, gets added in. There are very little seasonings included, as this is meant to be a simple meal. This is basically a no-fuss, no-muss approach to a filling meal. And with Ben’s Original Rice, you can make this meal even more low-effort.

Not only does Ben’s Original Ready Rice make the carb portion of the bowl easy to pull together with the help of a microwave, but depending on which rice flavor you choose, you can also elevate the seasoning aspect of the kibble as well. Instead of just adding white rice to your boy kibble bowl, why not try their Ready Rice in Roasted Chicken? Another option that we just learned about was their Lemon Herb Rice, which sounds like it could be a killer addition to a kibble bowl with pork or chicken.

Considering all you need is a microwave and pouch of rice to get half of your kibble ready to go, this could end up being the perfect accompaniment to your next girl dinner as well.

What do you think of the idea of boy kibble as the next viral trend? Is this something you already do? How would you put together a boy kibble meal?
