Morphology
The constituents 'crunchy' + 'granola' literally point to textured cereal and (in cultural context) health-food, so a learner who knows both words can partly infer a connection to natural/health-conscious lifestyles. However, the phrase functions as a social-label idiom for someone who adopts eco-friendly/alternative practices, which is culturally specific and not fully predictable from the parts alone. Because the connection is suggestive but requires pragmatic/cultural knowledge to reach the full meaning, it is best classified as semi-transparent.
Etymology
Crunchy granola comes from the food itself: granola baked until it is crunchy, so it breaks with a crisp sound when you bite it. That's why it means 'a kind of granola cereal with a firm texture'.
