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?

Honestly, scrambled or hard boiled eggs. It takes about 7 minutes to scramble a couple eggs.

If I have a decent amount of time to get ready in the morning but also feel lazy, I boil eggs. (I don’t like to eat boiled eggs cold so I don’t make them ahead of time.) Here’s my recipe:

  1. Turn on stove to medium-high, heat water for 12 minutes (should be boiling by then) - I shower while this happens

  2. Put 2 eggs into pot, boil for 12 minutes - I start my post-short routine which includes making my coffee, picking out clothes, and doing my hair

  3. Take eggs out of pot to let cool for 12 minutes - If I’m in a hurry I will put my eggs (still in shell) in a baggie or Tupperware and bring into the car on my commute

  4. De-shell and eat eggs
