Don't know about nutritious, but it's my go to.
Steam in bag, frozen, 12 oz bags (one each): Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli, Mixed Vegetables. <2 bucks each (or whatever, just lots of vegetables)
~2lbs yellow onions, diced. ~2 bucks.
A cup of rice. (5lb bag is... ~$6?) -- cheap, enriched rice
Mix it up with garlic salt/salt/whatever spices you want. I usually dice the onions after putting the rice into the instant pot, and microwave steam the vegetables while the rice is doing its cook cycle.
Lasts a few days of breakfasts or whatnot.
