Thanks a lot for all this stuff, I'm going to check your paper about soy, even I avoid it.
As I am a true dairy intolerant (makes my nose bleeding, red spots on my skin, stomach ache...)
I prefer plant based protein.

Concerning the aminogram :

Vegan Blend g/100g of Protein in Vegan Blend Powder :
ALANINE 2.484
ARGININE 4.7822
ASPARTIC ACID 7.031
CYSTINE 1.249
GLUTAMIC ACID 10.7991
GLYCINE 2.3515
HISTIDINE 1.7454
ISOLEUCINE 2.4665
LEUCINE 4.866
LYSINE 3.4602
METHIONINE 1.218
PHENYLALANINE 3.0718
PROLINE 2.721
SERINE 3.8282
THREONINE 2.5925
TRYPTOPHAN 0.4776
TYROSINE 3.676
VALINE 3.6342

Seems good, i think I'll go for 40g, as the mix is 75% prot it ll give me 30g of protein.
But there is only 1,46 g of leucine, so I'll add 5g bcaa to add enough of them to trigger the anabolic response.

I think I'd prefer plant based protein in your case.

Pea is pretty high in EAAs and soy is not terrible. It's splitting hairs, but you'd do better to add in more EAAs vs. simply BCAAs.

Cricket protein isn't a bad source, either, although I've not been able to find an AA breakdown specifically. (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Alb...nails.pdf)
