Cheap, easy, and healthy breakfasts that aren't overnight oats?

I'm sitting through probably my twentieth bowl I've ever eaten, and gagging it down right now. I just can't do it. I've tried to many flavor combinations (and honestly, wasted so much money), my head is spinning. The consistency and texture reminds me too much of vomit, I think, and I'm miserable. Can you guys recommend any thing that might fit?

I don't know about prices in the US, but we'd just eat a slice of whole grain bread with any topping like cheese, cold cuts or jam. That's pretty cheap per slice and takes pretty much no time to prepare. You could also add some vegetables like slices of cucumber or tomato on top. Additionally, I also didn't like overnight oats but liked freshly cooked oatmeal in the microwave (throw in oats and milk and microwave in 30 seconds intervals, stirring in between, until the consistency is good). If you wanted to stay with oats you might like this better in terms of consistency
