History Main / GranolaGirl

* 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.

* By all accounts, Music/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.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': Bridgette and Dawn. Both are {{Animal Lover}}s very passionate about nature, have been seen doing things like meditating, and are firm adherents to tree-hugging values like vegetarianism.

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

Granola ''Guys'' are less common, and are often depicted as some flavor of NewAgeRetroHippie: either a Tommy Chong-esque {{Erudite Stoner}} or a balding old guy with a ponytail who [[DiscoDan refuses to accept that the 1960s are over]]. More recently, Granola Guys may be depicted as pretentious millennial {{hipster}}s.

Granola Girls (and Guys) tend to be [[WideEyedIdealist Wide Eyed Idealists]] or occasional [[CloudCuckoolander Cloudcuckoolanders]], 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodeFamily'': Almost everybody.

* Male example with TCFM on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'', who happened to look [[IdenticalStranger similar to Beezy]].

* Nora’s sister, Wisteria Wakeman from WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot.

* Roxanne from ''ComicStrip/{{Candorville}}'' is this GoneHorriblyWrong--for instance, she loudly lectures anyone who eats meat, but has no problem with wearing fur to "preserve [the animal's] beauty forever." There are indications that she's [[{{Yandere}} psychotic]] [[MurderTheHypotenuse several times over]]. Given that [[spoiler:she wants to TakeOverTheWorld and might actually pull it off]], this is ''really'' bad.

* Andrea "Andy" Fox from ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'' is an exaggerated version of this making things like eggplant brownies.

* ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'': Topanga in the first season. She was intended as a one-shot character, but the actress made such an impression that she was invited back as a regular. The novelty wore thin pretty quickly, so when the show [[ReTool re-tooled]] in the second season, they changed her into a GirlNextDoor. Her change is explained in universe as just growing out of it as it's brought up in a later episode complete with Topanga mimicking an earlier incident of smearing lipstick over her face.

* 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.

** Blair has inherited some of the granola characteristics. He drinks algae shakes for breakfast, recommends folk remedies from around the world whenever someone is ill, and has an open mind on everything from spirit animals to ghosts. He also doesn't like guns, but that doesn't stop him holding his own in later episodes.

* Leo from ''Series/That70sShow'' could be an example of this because he's an older hippy stoner who refuses to grow up, although the fact that the show is set in the 70's makes this a moot point. Though it helps that this character is played by [[Creator/CheechAndChong Tommy Chong]]!

-->'''Amy''': (''talking to kidnapped vampire'') I am an organic vegan and my carbon footprint is miniscule.

* ''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 an staunch environmentalist, and many of her causes correlate with this.

* 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.

* Robbie Sinclair in ''Series/{{Dinosaurs}}'' is a Granola Guy. He's the only vegetarian in a family of carnivorous dinosaurs, questions the consumer-driven sociery 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 a intuitionist (psychic). And she had tried a ton of other stuff including yoga and soap making.

* 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.)

* 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 power lifting.

* Faith Seed from ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' is a an evil version in the cult of Project Eden's Gate.

* [[AnIcePerson Thetis]] from ''VideoGame/MegamanZXAdvent'' is definitely a non-comical version of this trope. He is young boy not much younger than [[TheHero Grey]]...[[WellIntentionedExtremist WHO WANTS TO DESTROY ALL OF HUMANITY]] [[HumansAreBastards FOR DARING TO POLLUTE THE OCEAN.]]

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.]]

* 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 shampoo with the extract of an endangered plant (even though she had been begging to go to one of his concerts).

* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Sheena, who is a health-nut and hates violence of any kind. Helga even lampshades it at one point: "That's it granola girl, you're dismissed!"

* Ilana from ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan'' has shades of this, particularly when talking about the unity of heart, body and mind or when she tries to campaign for better food at the high school.

->Is this [[TheStinger stinger]] gluten free?

->''"She's like... a dirty hippy. Without the dirt."''

* Mimi's mom from ''WesternAnimation/What About Mimi?'', to the point where she forbids her husband and kids from eating meat and they have to resort to eating it behind her back.

An overtly comical left-wing, anarchist-environmentalist-spiritualist character, with a penchant for tie-dyes, crystals, veganism, free love, [[NudeNatureDance oneness with nature]] and anything that is "[[AllNaturalSnakeOil all-natural]]".

This character is not very well grounded, tending to be overly-cheerful and flighty but not [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} scatter-brained]] enough to qualify as TheDitz. They [[SpiceRackPanacea love alternative medicine]] and might refer to real doctors as "greedy allopaths," followed by an immediate apology for "being so negative. That's not like me, at all." '

* Maddy, from ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'' is a mild version of this.

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. 'Some''times, she is a StrawFeminist or StrawVegetarian, but she won't be nearly as aggressive as those tropes usually entail.

* ''Franchise/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.
