    Clean protein? What does that mean? Egg whites is almost pure protein, if that helps.

    Dry roasted edamame and chickpeas. They're shelf stable and very high in protein (the edamame in particular is 14g per 1/4 cup I think) and have minimal ingredients.

    Nuts are a good source of protein if you can fit something calorically dense into your snacking. If not, things like kale chips (they taste better than they sound) and raw broccoli don't have a lot of protein per ounce, but they have a great protein/other stuff ratio.

    If it's because of being vegan, then just eat bowlfuls of spinach.

    Seems to me "clean" could either mean "not from animals" or not highly processed (i.e., no protein power or fake meat). Not knowing, I can't answer, but the answers above probably cover the spectrum anyway.
