If you just want a change in breakfast, there's always croissants,
scones, muffins, yogurt with granola and fruit, etc. , make-your-own
savory bars, or leftover pizza. Breakfast bars in grocery stores are
going to be sweet.

But I interpret your request to mean that you are also interested in
something in unit wrapping to take on trips.

If you don't like the sweet ones, try the "power bars" or "protein
bars." They are fairly non-sweet and must be popular as they are
still around despite tasting like cardboard. If you're really
anti-sugar, try the low-carb ones. I tried one once and can vouch for
the lack of sweetness (or anything that would entice me to try
another). There seems to be a trade-off between delicious bars and
healthy bars.

You might also want to check a health food store; I'm guessing they
would haver low-sugar breakfast bars if anyplace would.

When I go on a trip and want to bring along some bars, I just pick
whichever one sounds appealing from the grocery store shelf and figure
that I have a relatively healthy candy bar to eat in case I ever find
myself more than six feet away from food, which is pretty unlikely in
the U.S. . :>
