granolas

Crunchy breakfast mixes

The core meaning of granola is a mixture of oats, nuts, and fruit that may be eaten as a snack or as a breakfast cereal.

From this meaning, granola has developed other uses.

It is used as a noun to designate a person who embraces the values of the back-to-nature movement of the late 20th century.

As an adjective, granola characterizes such values: We stayed in a granola commune in Big Sur.
