Squares with blueberries and pineapple

Squares with blueberries and pineapple

I have always enjoyed healthy snacks and rare are the days when I do not collate.

I have a small appetite so I eat a little, but often. I almost always favour fruits and vegetables for a good snack except that from time to time it's nice to have a choice of something else.

So I took advantage of having some frozen blueberries and pineapples to make a great recipe for blueberry and pineapple squares. We could also make the recipe with other fruits according to our tastes and what we have in the fridge.
