Does my home-made vegan protein powder have all the essential amino acids?

I have developed food allergies to many of the common vegan protein sources such as soy, quinoa, hemp, and pea powder. I don't want to use any dairy or egg-based products. I have been mixing up a protein powder that includes flax seed, chia , nutritional yeast, spirulina, and raw cacao powder. I can tolerate this okay (although it doesn’t taste very good ) but I'm not sure if it makes a complete protein. Can anyone tell me ? Or suggest another type to try?

    Sun Warrior (and other companies like Garden of Life) produce Brown Rice Protein Powder that is raw, sprouted, fermented, organic, non-GMO, 80% protein, and it has a 98% assimilation rate in the body.

    I haven't had this^ - I've heard it's a little pricey but taste good (I can't imagine mixing nutritional yeast with the cacao powder and spirulina lol!)
