I recently worked with a nutritionist who turned me on to the most wonderful recipe that is egg and gluten free. You take 1 scoop of high quality protein powder (I'm using Quest Vanilla Protein by Lifequest Nutraceuticals - it's a whey protein powder with stevia used for seetenere) and wisk that powder with about 1/4 cup of Trader Joe's unsweetened vanilla almond drink (it's yummy). Then add 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice and mix together. Top with 1/4 cup or so of berries and about 1 tablespoon of healthy nuts. That way you get great protien, health complex carbs, and healthy fat. Just be careful with the brown rice - too much and you blow your carb count for the day.0

Do you like oatmeal? I've been making this for breakfast for like a week now, I swear that it does NOT taste eggy - all the other ingredients cover it up really well. High protein and grain free (not my blog/not affiliated): http://carrotsncake.com/2012/01/oatmeal-minus-the-oats.html0

Bananas w/nut butter, a PB & honey sandwich, or cereal with some nuts mixed in.0

Assuming you had a high protein dinner the night before...
Leftovers.
Don't feel like you have to have traditional breakfast food just because you're eating at the traditional breakfast time of day.
Thanks everybody for your suggestions!0 -

You don't have to eat "breakfast food" for breakfast. Leftover meat or veggies from dinner the night before, protein shake, tuna or chicken salad, lunchmeat....0

Quinoa made into something breakfast-like could work.0

For protein in my non-egg breakfasts, I put Greek yogurt in my oatmeal, along with fresh fruit, some walnuts, honey and cinnamon. Tastes like dessert. Trader Joe's 2% plain Greek yogurt has 24g of protein in a cup - I usually use 1/4 to 1/2 cup in my oatmeal.0

This too. Why does "breakfast" have to be "breakfast"? If you can have "breakfast for dinner" then you can have "dinner for breakfast"0 -

Greek yogurt....I hear refrigerator oatmeal is good. I just ordered Chia seeds so I can try my hand at making it. Switch to a different kind of milk. Try incorporating more nuts. You could try a protein shake, or a bar if you would prefer. Special KI has a special protein line...I dont know how good it is. Cottage cheese....or make those cottage cheese pancakes (someone will have a recipe somewhere, I have yet to try them). I've eaten salmon for breakfast...so I'm not really the person to ask as I don't eat traditional breakfast foods.0

Chia seeds
Hehe xD That's what I thought too when I first heard their name.
I get mine from the bulk bins at a local health food store, but many brands sell them per bag.
One of the major benefits is that the seeds are considered a 'complete' protein.. and I love that they provide omega3 (I'm a vegetarian, and hate eggs too! I drink rice milk, but soy is a good option for protein ..The only non-vegan product I still enjoy is cheese!)
Here's an article on some of the benefits of chia seeds:

Edited to add:
A lot of people put them in drinks and bake with them, as they somewhat 'gel' in liquid.
I don't find that they gel so much in my cereal, but I mix them with hearty granola and wheat groats, so lots of crunch. :-)0 -
Cottage cheese is super high protein-- like 15g for half a cup. I like to mix in fruit (apples, peaches, berries), or sometimes a bit of cereal or granola if I'm feeling indulgent. It's also good plain-- you can even put in a dash of jam or honey if you want something sweet. I get the 1% milkfat kind instead of fat free because it tastes a lot richer and yummier without adding any calories and only minimal fat.0
