As a 90’s kid, I was obviously obsessed with Nickelodeon and wanting to get slimed. I asked my parents for slime and they did eventually get me neon pink Gak. Since I was a probably around 8 years old at the time, it didn’t take very long for that Gak to make its way to the middle of my father’s beloved La-Z-Boy. If you’re a parent, I’m sure that’s no surprise, nor the fact that I was never allowed to have slime in the house again. And as for the La-Z-Boy, it still had a pink slime stain when I went off to college.
So while I was banned as a kid, now as an adult I get to make and play with all the DIY slime I want. So when I learned you can make slime that you can actually eat, I had to try it. Therefore here are a few recipes to make your own edible slime.

About These Edible Slime Recipes
Classic recipes typically use glue as the base and some sort of slime activator (whether that’s borax, contact lens solution, or something else). However, since these recipes are edible, they’re all slime without glue, borax, or activator.
All of these recipes show you how to make slime with Metamucil, making them all edible and a great craft for kids. Keep in mind, even though they’re technically edible they do not necessarily taste great. But you can certainly use flavors and ingredients that you like to make them taste better.

How to Make Slime Without Glue or Borax
One way to make slime without glue, borax, or a slime activator is to use Metamucil, or psyllium husk powder. Metamucil is a fiber supplement. However, keep in mind not all fiber supplements are made of psyllium husk. Therefore be sure to read the label if you’re buying a fiber powder to make sure it’s made of psyllium husks.
Since Metamucil is edible it makes a great base for edible slime recipes. When you mix psyllium husks or Metamucil with water, it turns into a gel. Then heating up this mixture removes some of the liquid, thickening it and making it gooey. The more you heat it up, the less messy and gooey it is and the more you can stretch it. Therefore if you want a stretchy slime, heat it up more. If you want a more runny and gooey slime, heat it up less.
You can certainly make edible slime without Metamucil as well, such as using flax seeds. However if you ask me which is better, I would say Metamucil slime.
