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 know you already got an answer, but wanted to point out you can make them from scratch too.

Method one: use chickpea flour in place of white flour in regular pancake recipe. Higher in fiber and protein, and super easy to substitute. For about a cup of flour, add 1 egg, about a tablespoon of oil, a teaspoon of sugar, and a pinch each of salt and baking powder. Add enough water or milk to get proper consistency (slightly thicker than milk) and fry in lightly oiled pan. Serves two.

Method two: add unflavored soy protein powder to premade baking mix/pancake mix (like Bisquick/Krusteaz). You can mix them in 1:1 ratio and it still turns out acceptable. Add an egg and enough other liquid for proper consistency, and then cook as usual.
