On-the-go, high protein breakfast

I need suggestions for a high protein breakfast that I can eat in my car on the way to work.  No spoons needed please! And I am not that crazy about boiled eggs.  I am a bit of a picky eater and do not like protein bars either.  Every one that I have tried taste very chalky to me and I have tried many different brands.  Any help you can give is much appreciated.

We make egg cups in a muffin tin. They're little crustless quiches and they're good cold or microwaved for 20 seconds. 

Other things that I like are string cheese or cheddar sticks. Most days I have a protein shake, though.

Thanks for the egg cups recipe.  That looks really good.  And I always forget about cheese.  That is a great suggestion too.  I would love to hear more though!

How about meat and cheese roll-ups?  I take these along for a snack when I am out running errands.  It keeps me from using protein bars.  They have way too many calories/carbs for the plan I am following.  And it is the dense protein the nutritionist suggests to eat.  Sometimes I liven it up with horseradish depending on the time of day.

I've found a line of low carb wraps that aren't bad.  The brand is Tumaro's.  The multi-grain one has 60 calories, 11 grams carbs,  7 grams fiber (so 4 net carbs) , and is also fairly low in sodium.  You could do an egg and/or cheese wrap.  I get the wraps in the deli section.

Egg muffins are great. I cannot tolerate eggs tho, so I eat these: Pigs in a pillow. I make a batch (24 of them) up on the weekend and eat 2 or 3 in the am. I love them. If you can tolerate eggs, you can sub one egg for the gelatin egg in the recipe.

I drink a Premier Protein RTD chocolate shake every morning for breakfast as I'm always late and rushed.  It's 160 calories and 30 grams of protein.  

If you're a picky eater, I'm guessing that you don't like protein shakes very much.  For me, it's a matter of getting a big dose of protein and energy in the morning to start the day.  I hope you'll find something that works for you.

Eggbites

All sorts of varieties.  They're easy to make and freeze, and heat up well.  They were the perfect size for post-op.
