If you really like eating oatmeal, you could always find another source of protein to eat with it. That, or just find some other combination of carbs and protein for breakfast, like egg whites and toast/bagels.
It's not so much that I like eating oatmeal, but my cholesterol is probably dangerously high, so I'm trying to eat right. Like you said before, oatmeal is almost a perfect food because it gives you protein as well as fiber and other nutrients while being low in the bad stuff. Unfortunately it tastes terrible, which was the original purpose of the protein mix. Kind of silly to pay $28/bag for what was essentially flavoring, but the added bonus of getting the protein supplement made it worth it.

The nitro-tech product and some other protein supplements I've seen have less sugar and therefore less taste. The Weider advanced is 180 cal/scoop compared to 110 for the nitro-tech stuff.

I eat eggs almost every breakfast, but it's a powered egg mix so it has protein but also cholesterol and whatever bad stuff is in egg yolks. Thanks for the advice and encouragement man, I really appreciate it.
