granola

Crunchy breakfast cereal

Granola is a breakfast food or snack made from oats, nuts, honey, and other ingredients, baked until crunchy.

It's eaten as cereal with milk or yogurt, or formed into bars.

As slang, granola describes someone with earthy, health-conscious, environmentally aware sensibilities—the kind of person who might eat granola: She's pretty granola—composting, hiking, the whole thing.
