History Main / GranolaGirl

You can expect either gender to play the guitar, [[DreadfulMusician badly]] (or actually be pretty good at it). Regardless of gender, they are portrayed as sincere and well-meaning. Bonus points for out of the ordinary names (think Music/FrankZappa's offspring).

* Opus' fiancée in ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'' was even named Lola Granola.

* ''Film/HocusPocus'': Max is a bit of one, at least as described by WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick, but with one notorious exception:
--> Max is from California, where people wear tie-dye, play drums, and just love tie-dye! 'Cause California has hippies, and hippies love tie-dye! But the thing about hippies is that hippies actually have sex. Free love is one of the main characteristics of Hippie-dome. But Max is a [[OverlyLongGag (thunderclap, dramatic pause, dramatic whisper) virgin!]]
* ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'': Seann William Scott played a young male example.
* ''Film/JohnTuckerMustDie'': Creator/SophiaBush's character.

* ''Film/TheMenWhoStareAtGoats''. A male example: Bill Django is the General of the New Earth Army, a Granola Platoon.

* ''Film/StrangerThanFiction'' has the quite badass tax-resistant anarchist baker Ana Pascal.

* Signe Havel of the ''Literature/{{Emberverse}}'' starts out as one of these, but the attitude doesn't survive the collapse of civilization, or more specifically, her encounter with bandit rapists.
* Katelyn, the resident vegetarian FieryRedhead of the deserted island in ''Literature/{{Insupu}}''.

* Nola, Phoebe's hippy friend in ''Oh. My. Gods.'' Nola is actually a nickname for her name, which is Granola.

* Britta on ''Series/{{Community}}''. But not half as much as Vaughn.
* Jane on ''Series/{{Coupling}}'' is one, although some positions she claims to have are not completely true (her supposed lesbianism and vegetarianism).

* ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}'': Caroline is a fine example of the trope. Her heart is arguably in the right place, but her pushy attitude and reckless lack of planning result in [[spoiler:her boyfriend's death as well as the maiming of her friend's arm]]. One gets the impression that she's intended to come across as far more sympathetic than she actually does.
* Amy Jellicoe in ''Series/{{Enlightened}}'', although her sincerity is sometimes questioned.
* In ''{{Series/Eureka}}'', Jack Carter's sister Lexi is an excellent example, while Tess is a somewhat more low-key version.

* Sarah from ''[[Series/JeopardyCBBC Jeopardy]]''. David fits this trope as well as he is a bit of a nature nerd.
* Lavinia, ''Series/DieLieweHeksie'', is a young witch in an idyllic elfland where flowers bloom everywhere, who manifests many of the classic character traits of the Granola Girl.

* Captain Stottlemeyer's first wife in ''Series/{{Monk}}''. She even rants to her husband, ''a police captain!'', about how she doesn't want him to carry a gun on duty.

* ''Series/TheOC'': Che, Summer's uni friend from the fourth season. And, to a lesser extent, Summer herself at times.

* Jerry from ''Series/RaisingTheBar'' is a fairly realistic example, played straight as an idealistic lawyer.

* Lisa in ''Series/SixFeetUnder'' qualifies:
-->'''Lisa:''' I don't go to the movies. Film is processed with gelatin. Gelatin comes from horses' hooves.\\
'''Claire:''' I didn't know that.\\
'''Lisa:''' Most people don't. Hence the global slavery of animals.
** She also ends up on her knees, trying to reason with mice to leave her house instead of using traps. Later, she's toned down a little, eating meat because "she needs the protein," but she still asks Nate to go to Whole Foods in just about every episode.
* Maddie, from ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'' is a mild version of this.

* ''Series/TheWonderYears'': The trope is played straight -- the series is set in the late 1960s.

[[folder:Pinballs]]
* ''Pinball/AmericasMostHaunted'' features a Granola Girl with psychic powers as one of the paranormal investigators.
* One of the passengers in ''Pinball/TimeMachineDataEast'' includes a Granola Girl hippie, representing TheSixties.

[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* Mokey in ''Series/FraggleRock''. If she were human, you could easily picture her listening to sitar music and polishing crystals.

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* By all accounts, Wrestling/BryanDanielson is a RealLife male example. Wrestling/{{WWE}} commentator Michael Cole has made many snide references to Bryan's veganism, while Bryan responded to Cole's remarks with a rant on WWE's image-obsessed hiring practices.
* This is Wrestling/DaizeeHaze's gimmick in Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}}, describing her time in the promotion as a mission from Mother Earth. It's cranked UpToEleven as Marley in ''{{Wrestling/Wrestlicious}}''.
* [[Wrestling/BellaTwins Brie Bella]] is a vegan (surprise surprise, she's married to Bryan Danielson). While this doesn't come into play in the ring, ''Series/TotalDivas'' uses it to heavily contrast with her sister Nikki - who is her [[SiblingYinYang complete opposite]].
* Wrestling/TarynTerrell was a vegan around the time she was in WWE as 'Tiffany' but had to give it up - as she needed the meat for her powerlifting.

[[folder:Theater]]
* Leaf Coneybear from ''Theatre/TheTwentyFifthAnnualPutnamCountySpellingBee'' is a male example of this. He's homeschooled and makes his own clothes.
* Pretty much everyone under 30 in ''Theatre/{{Hair}}'', of course.

[[folder:Toys]]
* ''Toys/MonsterHigh'': has two Granola Girls. One is Draculaura who is a VegetarianVampire and the other is Venus [=McFlytrap=] a PlantPerson. Venus may seem pushy in wanting others to protect the planet and prevent pollution, but her health relies on a healthy environment.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* Annie Frazier of the ''VideoGame/BackyardSports'' series.
* ''VideoGame/TheConduit'': Talk radio host Autumn Wanderer, who thinks the game's alien invasion is due to a misunderstanding by the angry, male-dominated government.
* [[https://chefville.fandom.com/wiki/Ginger_(character) Ginger]] from defunct ''Videogame/{{FarmVille}}'' clone ''[=ChefVille=]'' was a ''literal'' granola girl. Not only was she the stereotypical post-Hippie in a wool hat granola girl, her obsession was fresh natural ingredients and at one point she tasked the player with making granola.
* The [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves]] from ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress''. They live in forests, don't use metal, are "at peace with nature" (wild animals won't attack them), and are somehow able to get plenty of wood without chopping down trees. Taken to extremes in two ways:
** They ''hate'' trees being chopped down. If you try to trade to an elven caravan anything made out of wood or anything derived from wood (like soap or clear glass[[note]]the production of both require minerals which are purified from wood ash[[/note]]) it will offend the caravan master so much he'll immediately leave. In previous versions of the game visiting elven diplomats would demand that you'd set a yearly maximum quota for tree cutting. And when a world's history is being generated elven civilizations will ''go to war'' over human and dwarven civilizations cutting down too many trees.
** If a sapient creature is ''already'' dead, the elves have [[ImAHumanitarian no problem with eating the corpse]], since just letting the corpse rot would be a waste of resources. This includes eating the corpses of human and dwarven soldiers they killed in the wars they started over tree cutting, which pisses off the humans and dwarves so much that the wars keep on going.
* One in ''VideoGame/EscapeFromStMarys'' is known simply as "the Artist."
* Faith Seed from ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' is an evil version in the cult of Project Eden's Gate.
* A common character in ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing''. Despite their outspoken pacifism, hippies (male and female) are often enemies. Since they don't bathe, their attacks revolve around their body odor. NPC hippies are usually friendly, but out of their minds.
* [[AnIcePerson Thetis]] from ''VideoGame/MegaManZX Advent'' is definitely a non-comical version of this trope. He is a young boy not much younger than [[TheHero Grey]]...[[WellIntentionedExtremist WHO WANTS TO DESTROY ALL OF HUMANITY]] [[HumansAreBastards FOR DARING TO POLLUTE THE OCEAN.]]
* All the Elves of ''VideoGame/{{Overlord}} II'' fit this trope, being whiny hippies and ineffectual {{Hero Antagonist}}s to the VillainProtagonist, earning themselves a lot of harsh one-liners from your EvilChancellor Gnarl. Their main concern is saving fluffy and magical creatures from either TheEmpire or you, since you're a being of dark magic with Florian Greenheart being a consistent annoyance towards you [[spoiler:in an impressive act of ObfuscatingStupidity]].
* ''VisualNovel/{{Sprung}}'' has Shana the hippie photographer. Dealing with her can be [[CloudCuckoolander a strange experience]]. Well, stranger than [[SoBadItsGood usual]], anyway.
* ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasonsFriendsOfMineralTown'' includes the new, female LoveInterest of Jennifer. She has a bohemian design to her, lives in a tent near the lake instead of a house, and often talks about nature and its healing energy, gifting energy stones to others, and overall preferring the natural atmosphere of Mineral Town over the city she came from.
* The Night Elves in Warcraft 3 are all designed with this trope in mind, but special mention goes to the dryads. Listen to their annoyed quotes to find out how into sandals they'd be if they had feet.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': Marzipan whose "dirty hippie" quotient varies -- although the Strong Bad Email [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail160.html coloring]] painted her as a frightening [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad political-correctness freak]]. The Christmas 2010 'toon "A Decemberween Mackerel" suggests she may be farther on the self-righteous dark side of the trope than we realize:
-->'''Marzipan:''' At Decemberween time, it's our duty as people with more than one DVR to help those much, much, much, much, way very, very, very much, really smelly, a lot much less fortunate than us.
** In ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'', Homestar even refers to her as a [[{{Malaproper}} "granola bar"]].
* Storm, who is shot down with prejudice by the viewpoint character in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhGuXCuDb1U Storm The Animated Movie]].
-->'''Narrator, quoting Storm''': Pharmaceutical companies are the enemy! They promote drug dependency at the cost of the ''natural'' remedies that are all our bodies need! [...] I think it's time we took another turn to live with natural medical alternatives!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* Megan of ''Webcomic/ElfOnlyInn'' first appeared as the only person other than [[JerkAss Jason]] to roleplay an elf character. Her interpretation of elves veered heavily into this trope. Then another of the chatroom's regulars met her in real life and found out she really WAS like that. [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] in that she is also a {{control freak}} and an {{attention whore}}.
* ''Webcomic/HeadTrip'' got an [[http://headtrip.keenspot.com/d/20110131.html Evian Girl]].
* Aggie of ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie.''
* Tajel of ''Webcomic/{{PHD}}''.
* Monique of ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' fame is attempting to become one after an encounter with Barack Obama. Sadly for her, she is CursedWithAwesome in that her own sex appeal tends to trip her up, putting her on the Devil's radar.
** [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3563 Namechecked.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* ''WebOriginal/BrandonRogers'' has the Astrological Lesbians Darlene and her celestial star partner Cathlen as parodies of this. They only eat mud to not threaten the lives of plants, hate dicks, and are angered by their son drawing them, Cathlen is a musician whose songs are a single note held for three minutes and Darlene teaches a spiritual healing class. In "A Day At the Beach", they even try to perform a ceremony to regulate their menstrual cycles with the ocean.
* ''Series/CobraKai:'' As a stoner's kid, Moon comes by this honestly. She's a super-sweetie but not the deepest thinker of West Valley High (as the school brawl in the climax of Season 2 hammered home to her).
* In the ''Website/{{Collegehumor}}'' sketch about planning a wedding, Murph and Emily are trying to find an officiant that will please their religious and conservative families, and their more secular, liberal friends. They consult a Christian priest or minister, who tells them that he'll discuss in his sermon how a wife's role is to be subservient to her husband and that he'll go into discussions about FireAndBrimstoneHell. The next person they consult is some kind of neopagan priestess, who's giving them a rundown of what her ceremony would entail: she'll have them drink from the Earth Chalice, then she'll do a NudeNatureDance in honor of [[MotherNature Gaia]]. [[spoiler: They finally choose an easygoing, nondenominational minister, who also happens to be gay, and is willing to read the Lord's Prayer, but otherwise keep the ceremony fairly secular.]]
* Christine from ''[[Website/BecomingABetterWriter Demonic Symphony]]'' has [[http://becomingabetterwriter.wordpress.com/2009/04/15/demonic-symphony-scene-072/ touches of this.]]
* Hippie girl Windsong on ''Roleplay/NoPixel'' is vegan, promotes weed as a pathway towards world peace, despises organized religion and vaccines, and thinks that essential oils will heal gunshot wounds. She's also a bit of a hypocrite; she believes in peace and love despite owning a Taser and delighting in attacking her enemies, she is anti-capitalist despite using her weed sales to get a swanky pad in Vinewood, and she [[BornInTheWrongCentury idolizes the Sixties and looks down on the modern day]] despite using a smartphone and modern electric car.
* The character of WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick {{deconstruct|ion}}s this one. She's a misanthropic, uncaring StrawFeminist who ''talks'' about the environment and progressive causes but would rather lie around in her house, drink beer, and bitch about nostalgic crap. Played literally in one review where she can be seen munching on granola. There were multiple levels of deliberate irony in this, boiling down to promoting feminist and progressive ideas by deliberately invoking StrawmanHasAPoint. When Creator/LindsayEllis left Website/ChannelAwesome and started doing videos under her own name she dropped the pretext and argues for them openly in a much more serious manner (including a PBS show!)... although drinking beer and complaining about nostalgic crap still features heavily.
* Macrobiotic, of the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''. I mean, she gave herself the codename 'Macrobiotic', what more do you need?
[[/folder]]

* Hayley from ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' is usually a more cynical version, conflicting with her more conservative father as a result. The trope can be played quite straight, too.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'': Mr. O' Neill. He is an {{Expy}} of Mr. Van Driessen from ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' set in nominally the same universe and is only marginally more effective at reaching students.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodeFamily'': Almost everybody. The show itself is a scathing satire of the subculture.

* Didi from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' would be this [[DependingOnTheWriter sometimes]]. Usually when cooking or when it put her at odds with Betty.

** Calliope Juniper in the episode "Flaming Moe" is also an example of this.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': An occasionally recurring character is the "Aging Hippy Liberal Douche". Wendy tends to fit this as of late, too.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheTofus'': Mr. and Mrs. Tofu are over-the-top parodies of the granola lifestyle, to the exasperation of their more ordinary children.

* [[https://chefville.fandom.com/wiki/Ginger_(character) Ginger]] from defunct Videogame/{{FarmVille}} clone [=ChefVille=] was a ''literal'' granola girl. Not only was she the stereotypical post-Hippie in a wool hat granola girl, her obsession was fresh natural ingredients and at one point she tasked the player with making granola.

Then I sit back in glorious expectation of a genuine junk food high.\\
* Music/TimMinchin's nine-minute beat poem [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0W7Jbc_Vhw "Storm"]] describes his encounter with and ensuing verbal smackdown of a Granola Girl called Storm.

* Jessica Cruz from
''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'' is a vegan, a pacifist (which poses some unique challenges considering she’s a superhero), and is constantly attending protests.

* Terra Caldwell from [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5330983/1/Convergent_Paths "Convergent Paths"]] (a Franchise/{{Pokemon}} fanfic), who [[DoesNotLikeShoes dislikes shoes]] and likes meditating, up to the point of switching between normal state and meditative state (in which she speaks "like a wise elder of a village").

** Fluttershy herself is often depicted as a Granola Girl, especially in fanarts where she's drawn as a human.

* Haley from ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' is usually a more cynical version, conflicting with her more conservative father as a result. The trope can be played quite straight, too.

* Miracle Grohe from ''WesternAnimation/SitDownShutUp''. A spiritual hippie barefoot science teacher who often brings her infant son Merch (who is obviously smarter than she is) to school as she believes that babies should always be with their mothers. Her catchphrase is "Babies are gifts from God. Drummers are creeps." Though she is a science teacher, she believes in things a science teacher wouldn't (Mother Earth, mysticism, fortunes, etc).

* Mokey in ''Series/FraggleRock''. If she were human, you could easily picture her listening to sitar music and polishing crystals.

You can expect either gender to play the guitar, [[DreadfulMusician badly]] (or actually be pretty good at it). Regardless of gender, they are portrayed as sincere and well-meaning. Bonus points for out of the ordinary names (think Music/FrankZappa's offspring).

Compare BourgeoisBohemian. If SoapboxSadie doesn't become a Straw Feminist when she grows up, she'll become this trope instead. A Granola Girl who is ''really'' serious about the lifestyle may live on a {{Commune}}. If a Granola Girl is completely committed to the persona, she may also be a {{Hairy Girl}} and/or not wear a bra as well. Like her NewAgeRetroHippie counterpart, she often DoesNotLikeShoes (but ''loves'' [[RoundHippieShades tinted sunglasses with round frames]]). Sometimes, she is a StrawFeminist or StrawVegetarian, but she won't be nearly as aggressive as those tropes usually entail. May also be a [[DirtyCommies hardline communist]] but she'll usually be more [[ChummyCommies Rosa Luxemburg]] than UsefulNotes/JosefStalin.

Granola Girls (and Guys) tend to be [[WideEyedIdealist Wide Eyed Idealists]] or occasional {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s, and often end up bringing other characters to follow their way of thinking, usually to solve a conflict or think about a situation from a different perspective. Especially true in an office setting, where they probably feel like a FishOutOfWater: they're likely to spearhead the team-building exercise that gets their fellows and superiors through an issue none of them have been able to solve.

Granola ''Guys'' are less common, and are often depicted as some flavor of NewAgeRetroHippie: either a Creator/TommyChong-esque {{Erudite Stoner}}, a balding old guy with a ponytail who [[DiscoDan only grudgingly accepts that the 1960s are over]], or (in more recent works) a pretentious millennial {{hipster}}, often with the appropriate facial hair.

%%* Starr from ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}''.
%%* Cadpig from ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries''.

* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Birdz}}'', Eddie's big sister, Steffy, is a staunch environmentalist. The first episode has her throwing paint on models wearing fuzzy caterpillar coats, and another has her boycotting a singer because he uses a shampoo with the extract of an endangered plant (even though she had been begging to go to one of his concerts).
%%* Skye Blue from ''WesternAnimation/CarlSquared.''

%%* Zoop from ''WesternAnimation/IggyArbuckle''.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'': Miss Grotke, through and through.

%%* Miracle Grohe from ''WesternAnimation/SitDownShutUp''.

* ''Series/DharmaAndGreg'': Dharma is overly cheerful and sensitive, but she is also more compassionate and forgiving than most people. Despite her trust in the goodness of people and persistent good intentions, Dharma is not naive. She understands the real world, employs sarcasm and receives it well. Dharma perseveres in expressing her personality and her identity even in the face of an overwhelmingly opposing world. Dharma encourages Greg to seek happiness rather than fret about practical issues like money.

* ''Series/TheWonderYears'': The trope is played straight -- the series is set in the late 1960s.



* A male example from Series/TheMillers, Adam was raised on a commune, that had a cultish leader, by a mother who apparently [[ReallyGetsAround really got around]][[note]]according to Adam, his getting a new half-sibling was almost an annual event[[/note]]. He and Debbie own a yoga studio with an attached vegan cafe, although they themselves are vegetarians. Adam even had pigtails when the Millers first met him, although Carol forced him to cut them off before he could marry Debbie.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' featured the literally short-lived Principal Flutie as another male version of the trope. After some possessed students ate him (he finally found the gumption to threaten them with detention just before dying), he was replaced by the better-known [[SadistTeacher Principal Snyder]], who utters the immortal, 'That's the kind of woolly-headed liberal thinking that leads to being eaten,' (as opposed to what eventually happens to ''him'').
** Flutie's immediate characterization paints him as ''aspiring'' to this archetype rather than succeeding in it. He wants to give Buffy a fresh start, tears up her transcript, and then, horrified, tapes it back together after glancing over the specifics, and tells Buffy the kids know they can call him by his first name but then adds, "but they don't." He ''was'' a nice guy though, a sort of hypocritical but well-meaning ReasonableAuthorityFigure, as opposed to Snyder who openly has it in for Buffy from day one.
* ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}'': Caroline is a fine example of the trope. Her heart is arguably in the right place, but her pushy attitude and reckless lack of planning result in [[spoiler:her boyfriend's death as well as the maiming of her friend's arm]]. One gets the impression that she's intended to come across as far more sympathetic than she actually does.

* ''Series/TheOC'': Che, Summer's uni friend from the fourth season. And, to a lesser extent, Summer herself at times.
* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'':
** Barney was a Granola Guy who wanted to join the peace corps. Then [[BreakTheCutie his girlfriend dumped]] him for a jerk in a suit and Barney became LEGEN-[[StockPhrase wait for it...]]DARY.
** Ted's high school/sometimes college girlfriend Karen was a particularly insufferable example. Obsessed with wine and healthy food, bashing pop culture and pretty much everything, and a chronic cheater.
* Jane on ''Series/{{Coupling}}'' is one, although some positions she claims to have are not completely true (her supposed lesbianism and vegetarianism).
* Maddie, from ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'' is a mild version of this.

* ''Series/HannahMontana'': Sarah, who once went to work in Rico's snack shack and ended up getting rid of paper plates and cups under the excuse that they would all asphyxiate if they didn't quit using them. While she's right, it is kind of extreme.

* Britta on ''Series/{{Community}}''. But not half as much as Vaughn.
* Lindsay on ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' tries to present herself as this at times, but utterly fails at it in practice as she is a SpoiledBrat at heart. Once to prove herself a real activist she joined a volunteer group to clean up the Wetlands. She ended up getting a taxi there because she didn't want to take the bus, skewered a frog with her trash spike, got lost, and "I think I maced a crane." She also claims to be against animal-skin, yet she wears ostrich skin boots which she justifies with ostriches [[WhatMeasureIsANonCute not being cute enough animals]].
* ''Series/TheThickOfIt'': Stewart Pearson from is an example and an unusual one in that he is neither an aging hippy nor a sympathetic character. He drinks herbal tea, cycles everywhere, and is possibly far too PC for the centre-Right political party which employs him as a spin doctor. His colleagues generally find him irrational and irritating: MP Peter Mannion was less than impressed when Stewart made him install a wind turbine on the roof of his home. For PR purposes, naturally: underneath it all, he's as ruthless as a spin doctor needs to be.
* Emma from ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'' is known as the school's [[SoapboxSadie "cause girl" because she has arranged many protests and boycotts for various causes]]. She is a staunch environmentalist, and many of her causes correlate with this.
* In ''{{Series/Eureka}}'', Jack Carter's sister Lexi is an excellent example, while Tess is a somewhat more low-key version.
* In ''Series/ProjectRunway'' season two, the designers were given an assignment to create a new look for each other. Santino said that he was going to make Kara Janx look like less of a "granola hippie".
** Timothy of season 12 was a Granola Boy. He was committed to using earth-friendly fabric in everything, and in an overlap with {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, started talking about how we had to save the forests because the unicorns lived there. Sadly, he was eliminated early because he didn't exactly perform well under the Project Runway constraints.
* Jerry from ''Series/RaisingTheBar'' is a fairly realistic example, played straight as an idealistic lawyer.
* Jessie Spano in ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' the show's resident know-it-all crusader.
* Lisa in ''Series/SixFeetUnder'' qualifies:
-->'''Lisa:''' I don't go to the movies. Film is processed with gelatin. Gelatin comes from horses' hooves.\\
'''Claire:''' I didn't know that.\\
'''Lisa:''' Most people don't. Hence the global slavery of animals.
** She also ends up on her knees, trying to reason with mice to leave her house instead of using traps. Later, she's toned down a little, eating meat because "she needs the protein," but she still asks Nate to go to Whole Foods in just about every episode.
* Captain Stottlemeyer's first wife in ''Series/{{Monk}}''. She even rants to her husband, ''a police captain!'', about how she doesn't want him to carry a gun on duty.
* Robbie Sinclair in ''Series/{{Dinosaurs}}'' is a Granola Guy. He's the only vegetarian in a family of carnivorous dinosaurs, questions the consumer-driven society created by [[MegaCorp the WESAYSO Corporation]], and [[FreeTheFrogs releases humans back into the wild]].
* Claire Howard of ''Series/TheCloser'' is definitely this. She eats nothing but vegan stuff and tried to feed it to her brother and Brenda. She is an intuitionist (psychic). And she had tried a ton of other stuff including yoga and soap making.
* Dharma of ''Series/DharmaAndGreg'', along with her friend Jane. Dharma even has the added bonus of having parents (''especially'' her father) who are still stuck in the '60s.
* Sarah from ''[[Series/JeopardyCBBC Jeopardy]]''. David fits this trope as well as he is a bit of a nature nerd.
* One of these appears on ''Series/AdamRuinsEverything'', as a [[MonsterOfTheWeek guest of the week]]. She is a journalist for a health and wellness magazine with a heavy focus on alternative medicine, and a big project at work is stressing her out and making her feel all out of sorts. She turns to help from a health spa, where Adam shows her that she can't "detox" her body (and doesn't have to), colon cleanses do more harm than good, there's no reason to fear MSG, and things like crystal healing rely heavily on the placebo effect. (He also informs her that traditional medicine does too and that there's no harm in going to a health spa or using its services.)
* Penny from ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' has some traits of this, largely [[{{Foil}} as a contrast to the very science-oriented guys]]. She is an aspiring actress who believes in psychics, horoscopes, the supernatural and is generally more empathy minded. Although played for laughs in the first episode, where she introduces herself as a vegan, "...except for fish and the occasional steak. [[HypocriticalHumor I love steak!]]"

* In ''Series/MotherlandFortSalem'', Tally grew up on a matrifocal compound - basically, a hippie-witch commune with no men. She is the most liberal member of the main trio.
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': In "The Girl I Married", Valerie Richman was the archetypal hippie chick in UsefulNotes/TheSixties. When the spirit of the '60s Valerie appears to her husband Ira in 1987, she suggests that the two of them relax by doing a little LSD. Although Ira turns down the idea, she takes him to a double bill of ''Film/EasyRider'' and ''Film/{{Woodstock}}'' and later a meditation session.

* Music/TimMinchin's nine-minute beat poem [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0W7Jbc_Vhw "Storm"]] describes his encounter with and ensuing verbal smackdown of a Granola Girl called Storm.
* Lloyd Cole's "So You'd Like To Save The World".
-->You might call it ultraviolet radiation ... ''It's only sunlight!''

* ''Pinball/AmericasMostHaunted'' features a Granola Girl with psychic powers as one of the paranormal investigators.

[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* Lavinia, ''Series/DieLieweHeksie'', is a young witch in an idyllic elfland where flowers bloom everywhere, who manifests many of the classic character traits of the Granola Girl.
[[/folder]]

* All the Elves of ''VideoGame/{{Overlord}} II'' fit this trope, being whiny hippies and ineffectual {{Hero Antagonist}}s to the VillainProtagonist, earning themselves a lot of harsh one-liners from your EvilChancellor Gnarl. Their main concern is saving fluffy and magical creatures from either TheEmpire or you, since you're a being of dark magic with Florian Greenheart being a consistent annoyance towards you [[spoiler:in an impressive act of ObfuscatingStupidity]].

* ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasonsFriendsOfMineralTown'' includes the new, female LoveInterest of Jennifer. She has a bohemian design to her, lives in a tent near the lake instead of a house, and often talks about nature and its healing energy, gifting energy stones to others, and overall preferring the natural atmosphere of Mineral Town over the city she came from.
* One in ''VideoGame/EscapeFromStMarys'' is known simply as "the Artist."

* The [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves]] from ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress''. They live in forests, don't use metal, are "at peace with nature" (wild animals won't attack them), and are somehow able to get plenty of wood without chopping down trees. Taken to extremes in two ways:
** They ''hate'' trees being chopped down. If you try to trade to an elven caravan anything made out of wood or anything derived from wood (like soap or clear glass[[note]]the production of both require minerals which are purified from wood ash[[/note]]) it will offend the caravan master so much he'll immediately leave. In previous versions of the game visiting elven diplomats would demand that you'd set a yearly maximum quota for tree cutting. And when a world's history is being generated elven civilizations will ''go to war'' over human and dwarven civilizations cutting down too many trees.
** If a sapient creature is ''already'' dead, the elves have [[ImAHumanitarian no problem with eating the corpse]], since just letting the corpse rot would be a waste of resources. This includes eating the corpses of human and dwarven soldiers they killed in the wars they started over tree cutting, which pisses off the humans and dwarves so much that the wars keep on going.

* Tajel of ''Webcomic/{{PHD}}''.
* ''Webcomic/HeadTrip'' got an [[http://headtrip.keenspot.com/d/20110131.html Evian Girl]].
* Megan of ''Webcomic/ElfOnlyInn'' first appeared as the only person other than [[JerkAss Jason]] to roleplay an elf character. Her interpretation of elves veered heavily into this trope. Then another of the chatroom's regulars met her in real life and found out she really WAS like that. [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] in that she is also a {{control freak}} and an {{attention whore}}.

* In the ''Website/{{Collegehumor}}'' sketch about planning a wedding, Murph and Emily are trying to find an officiant that will please their religious and conservative families, and their more secular, liberal friends. They consult a Christian priest or minister, who tells them that he'll discuss in his sermon how a wife's role is to be subservient to her husband and that he'll go into discussions about FireAndBrimstoneHell. The next person they consult is some kind of neopagan priestess, who's giving them a rundown of what her ceremony would entail: she'll have them drink from the Earth Chalice, then she'll do a NudeNatureDance in honor of [[MotherNature Gaia]]. [[spoiler: They finally choose an easygoing, nondenominational minister, who also happens to be gay, and is willing to read the Lord's Prayer, but otherwise keep the ceremony fairly secular.]]

* Karolina Dean of the ComicBook/{{Runaways}}, being the progeny of two movie stars, is this, to a certain degree. She's a vegan and generally prefers to avoid fighting. The team's busy schedule of dealing with criminals, demons, and alien invaders and general lack of money doesn't give her much opportunity to indulge in other granola behaviors, though.

* ''ComicStrip/DykesToWatchOutFor'': Most of the main characters (with the distinct exception of Sydney) are distinctly on this end of the spectrum compared to mainstream Middle America, with Sparrow starting off as the most so. Ironically, in the strip's latter days, the biggest Granola Girl is the main ''male'' character, Stuart.

* Opus' fiancée in ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'' was even named Lola Granola.

* ''Film/JohnTuckerMustDie'': Sophia Bush's character.
* ''Film/PiratesOfSiliconValley'': Steve Jobs's girlfriend, who had a daughter with him named Lisa. His first reaction when she breaks up with him is to fire the entire Apple Lisa dev team.
* ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'': Seann William Scott played a young male example.

* ''Film/MarsAttacks'': Brutally parodied-- Annette Bening's character Barbara is a Granola Girl who sets up New Age crystals as she watches the Martians land, believing that they are the saviors of the human race, here to enlighten us. [[AlienInvasion They aren't.]] She's one of the few people to survive the massacre that follows. Afterward, Barbara claims that they have come to [[AliensAreBastards punish]] [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters humanity for destroying the Earth]].

%% * ''Film/BeingJohnMalkovich'' has Lotte.
* ''Film/StrangerThanFiction'' has the quite badass tax-resistant anarchist baker Ana Pascal.

%% * Sheldon Mopes of Film/DeathToSmoochy
* Played with in ''Film/TheAddamsFamily''. A Girl Scout insists she only eats all-natural, preservative-free foods while debating purchasing some of Wednesday's lemonade... and then offers to sell them highly-processed Girl Scout cookies. Wednesday's priceless rebuttal: "Are they made from real girl scouts?"
* ''Film/TheMenWhoStareAtGoats''. A male example: Bill Django is the General of the New Earth Army, a Granola Platoon.
%% * Layla from ''Film/SkyHigh2005''.
* ''Film/HeDiedWithAFelafelInHisHand'' has Iain, a male example who is younger than 30 (and doesn't play guitar- that's Danny), whose EstablishingCharacterMoment has him unpacking numerous packages of seeds and legumes while ranting about how the government has [[ConspiracyTheorist deliberately made milk bottles just a little bit too short to hold dried fettuccine.]]

* In ''Film/DantesPeak'' Geologist Harry Dalton's boss refers to a time when he tried to set up Harry with a girl who Harry should have been compatible with, since she was into rocks, too. "Crystals", Harry grimly replies, "She was into crystals. Not rocks. Crystals."
* Crystal Fairy from ''Film/CrystalFairyAndTheMagicalCactus'' is a New Ager who complains about sugary cereals, attempts energy rituals, and puts "magic pebbles" in the guys' drinks so they can consume the essence.

* Dawn of the ''Literature/BabySittersClub'' loves the beach and California living, is a health food nut, an environmentalist, and a strong opponent of guns and violence.
* Parodied/Lampshaded in ''Literature/ThursdayNext: First Among Sequels'', by Thursday's fictional counterpart, Thursday5, a LighterAndSofter version of her, written after the original complained about the DarkerAndEdgier first four.

* ''Brief Interviews with Hideous Men'': One of Creator/DavidFosterWallace's short stories involved a man relating the story of a hook-up with a "granola cruncher" that turned into a most peculiar tale about her [[spoiler:managing to get a rapist to not rape her in a truly bizarre manner]].
* ''Literature/AmericanGods'': Samantha Black Crow delivers a beautiful speech of all the (sometimes contradictory) things she believes in, which could well be a summary of the beliefs of many of these characters. In a subversion, this is a universe where all this [[AllMythsAreTrue might well be true, at the same time.]]
* Nola, Phoebe's hippy friend in Oh. My. Gods. Nola is actually a nickname for her name, which is Granola.
* Signe Havel of the Literature/{{Emberverse}} starts out as one of these, but the attitude doesn't survive the collapse of civilization, or more specifically, her encounter with bandit rapists.

* Katelyn, the resident vegetarian FieryRedhead of the deserted island in ''Literature/{{Insupu}}''.

* Mokey in ''Series/FraggleRock''. If she were human, you could easily picture her listening to sitar music and polishing crystals.

%% * ''Series/DharmaAndGreg'': Dharma and her parents.

* Amy Jellicoe in ''Series/{{Enlightened}}'', although her sincerity is sometimes questioned.
* ''Series/TheMonkees'': Peter Tork (on the TV show ''and'' in real life) was more of a Granola Guy rather than a NewAgeRetroHippie (although he displays many of these characteristics as well. See also: EruditeStoner.). He was undoubtedly the peace-loving “hippie” of the group, donning groovy '60s fashion (moccasins, beads, henna, flowers), and very openly displaying his dislike of violence onscreen.
** Which may explain why he was cast as Topanga’s father Jedidiah in early episodes of ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld''.
* Mr. Fellows, the English teacher from ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir''. He seemed desperate to prove to [[Creator/WillSmith Will]] that he was totally down with having a black student by doing things like casually mentioning how much he loved ''Film/{{Glory}}'', or stating how we need to "fix" the South.
** This eventually gets him fired, as his proposal to take the students to the infamous Mapplethorpe exhibit is met with outrage by the parents.
