It isn't necessary to eat complete proteins as a *single* dietary item.
A combination of proteins that makes up to complete protein works just
as well. The body just needs those amino acids daily rather than on a
per-meal or hourly basis.

Soy milk is rather dilute, so wouldn't help you as far as concentrated
protein. Try tofu instead; it's mild flavoured and can be seasoned up
any way you'd like. Non-fat unflavoured (so no sugar) yoghurt is also a
good source of concentrated protein.

Nuts and whole grains are common breakfast items in certain 'Western'
cuisines, so try whole grain porridges (which do not need to be
sweetened) with toasted nuts on top.

Why do you need to eat a 'Western' breakfast anyway? Other food
combinations might suit your hypoglycaemia much better.

If your 'hypo' is that unstable, might be best to see your doctor again.
It can have several causes, some more serious than others.
