Ingredients

• 4 slices White or whole wheat sandwich bread (crusts removed)
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 small Cucumber (thinly sliced)
• 1 medium Carrot (cut into thin matchsticks)
• 1 medium Ripe avocado (sliced into thin strips)
• 4 slices Thinly sliced deli turkey or ham (optional)
• 4 large Strawberries (thinly sliced)
• 1 small Banana (cut into thin spears)
• 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for a sweet version)

Directions

Step 1

Lay a slice of sandwich bread on a clean cutting board and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a thin rectangle.

Step 2

Spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese evenly over the surface of the bread.

Step 3

For a savory roll, place thin slices of cucumber, carrot matchsticks, avocado slices, and deli meat (if using) in a line across the bottom edge of the bread.

Step 4

For a sweet roll, arrange slices of strawberry and banana along the bottom edge of the bread and drizzle lightly with honey (if desired).

Step 5

Starting from the bottom, gently roll the bread into a tight log, pressing firmly but without squishing the fillings.

Step 6

Use a sharp knife to carefully slice the rolled bread into 4 equal-sized pieces, resembling small sushi rolls.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining bread slices and fillings, creating a mix of savory and sweet sushi rolls as desired.

Step 8

Arrange the kid-friendly sushi rolls on a plate and serve immediately as a fun snack, lunch, or party treat!
