what the evidence says
Plant protein blends can match whey for muscle outcomes in trials when the dose is matched and the amino-acid profile is complete, which usually means blending sources or slightly larger servings. Single-source plant proteins run a little behind gram-for-gram on leucine. For vegans the evidence comfortably supports blends as the practical equal of dairy protein. As a single-source pea protein this runs lower on leucine per scoop than blends; the price partly compensates.
