Calories: 215kcal

2 pieces sandwich bread
1/4 cup whipped cream cheese (or other favorite white spread like yogurt, ricotta cheese or cottage cheese)
2 tablespoons strawberry preserves
fresh blueberries
1 banana

Toast bread if desired. Allow to cool before the next step to prevent sogginess.
Spread 2 tablespoons whipped cream cheese on each slice of bread just to the border.
Spread preserves on the toasts avoiding the upper left hand corner (that's where the "stars" go).
Place blueberries in the upper left hand corner to resemble the stars on the American flag.
Cut banana in half and then into thin strips OR cut into circles and then half moons. Place the bananas stripes or half moons across the toast to resemble stripes.
Serve immediately.

Prevent browning: Toss banana slices in a little lemon juice to keep them from browning if you’re prepping ahead.
Toast tip: If you toast the bread, let it cool completely before adding the cream cheese or other white base to avoid sogginess.
Leftover Banana slices? If you end up with a few extra pieces of bananas, you can always freeze bananas for healthy smoothies.
Alternative stripe version: Instead of using preserves, layer sliced strawberries over the white base to create the red stripes.
