What about oats and an assortment of nuts? These go pretty well with cold milk or hot water alike, and you can flavor any which way if desired. Or are oats in the US also "fortified" with sugar?

I like to buy raw pecans in bulk from Costco for cheap, lightly roast the nuts in the air fryer for several minutes, and then chop them and add them into the oats. Great delicate flavors and aromas that can't be replicated with shelf-stable ingredients. Maybe add a tiny bit of butter and some cinnamon. So good

Actually that's what I usually eat. But its a bit more work than opening a box and pouring out the contents.

I really just want to check the "morning nutrients" box without having to do a lot of bother, its something I really don't want to care about or pay attention to. I just want a very fast, convienient breakfast without added sugar and that's not available in a lot of stores, which is crazy.

A boiled egg with a bit of soy sauce and a banana. Preboil the eggs of you can't schedule your morning around boiling an egg.

I buy bob’s red mill muesli and eat it with milk. I don’t soak it or anything like that. I call it “horse food” but it is fast, nutritious, and satisfies the “breakfast cereal” craving.
