How about a veggie crustless quiche or muffins? I usually make mine over the weekend and then have it throughout the week. I'm curious of what others suggest!

I have just discovered PB2. It is powdered peanut butter. It is lower in calories than PB because it has less fat. I put 2 spoons of it into some plain yoghurt, and this is my breakfast. I am planning to try it with tofu - that might work better for you if you avoid all animal products, not just meat. But, choose only high quality tofu.7

Where is PB2 sold?1 -
I get my PB2 at Walmart in the USA.1

I do a Cliff Bar, typically Coconut and Chocolate Chip with a Protein Shake.1

Yep, make a quiche. 6 eggs, random veggies, bit of cheese, then bake it until it's set.
Or you can use low carb tortillas to make egg/veggie wraps.2 -
I love eggs with salsa. There are a ton to different types of salsa out there so you can pick one that suits your taste.2

I eat this for breakfast often: 1/2 C 1% Cottage Cheese, 4 sliced strawberries, 2 Tbsp blueberries, 1/2 C chopped pecans. It's a delicious, on the go breakfast!3

If you are looking for high protein and low carb, then you should drop the high carb item you already are eating (oatmeal) and ignore the suggestions for high carb items already suggested (Clif bar, berries). But then the 'no meat' criteria is going to add significant difficulty. Basically your options are eggs (already doing that), nuts, and *some dairy products (stuff that is low carb like cottage cheese already mentioned. Keep in mind that nuts are not really high in protein, though. When you actually look at the macro breakdown, you will see that nuts are primarily fat, not protein.
I suggest you consider why you are looking for high protein specifically and consider if including fats will help you achieve whatever goal(s) you have. Also, I'm not sure why you don't eat meat, but I would strongly suggest reconsidering if you are trying to decrease carbs and increase protein. Being able to add fat and meat will open up a lot more possibilities for you.9 -
Turkey bacon. Or turkey sausage. I make up some on Sunday's with boiled eggs. Or you can have a poached egg on turkey sausage with your voice of bread or no bread at all! You can make those up ahead of time and wrap them up. Grab and go in the morning after a quick microwave minute!5

Try quinoa and beans with some salsa or hot sauce (be careful - these are likely to be high in carbs, but if you just use a LITTLE for flavor you won't get too much) and some cheese mixed in. Then put a scrambled or soft-boiled egg on top. YUM.1

Thanks much everyone for the great suggestions. Can't wait to try them!0

1 carb protein waffles are my go to. It's just 1 scoop of protein, 1 whole egg, cashew milk, and a dash of baking powder stirred to consistency and cooked in a waffle iron. It's definitely not actual waffle texture, but for 1 carb and 30g of protein it's pretty darn good. If you want the official recipe just google 1 carb pescience waffle and you'll get a ton of results.8

Love my powdered peanut butter with my frozen banana and almond milk. Add in spinach and some chia seeds or flax for omega and such and it's a quick out the door drink. Looking to add a veggie powder from doTerra. Will have to report back on taste.3
