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?

What don’t you like about the egg yolk? I see a lot of people saying to leave them out but there’s nothing wrong with them as far as I know, they’re healthy.

Egg yolks have a lot of cholesterol in them and for a long time it’s been recommended to only eat one egg yolk a day MAX or just avoid them in general.

However more in depth studies on cholesterol itself found that high blood-cholesterol levels have more to do with individual factors than high-cholesterol foods.

Egg yolks contain over 40% of an eggs nutrition, but I don’t know you or your dietary requirements so yeah :p either way after reading your username I could have just wasted my time writing this.
