If she's tiring easily, she might also be low on iron. Broccoli, parsley, and sunflower seeds are decent sources for that but, again, she may want to take a supplement.

Get a really good one at a health food store. (because Vegan won't take capsules if they are made with gelatin). the have multi-vitamins specifically for vegans.

Check out for sound vegan nutrition advice. Keep convenient high protein foods available such as soy yogurt, fake meats, nuts and nut butters, flavored ready to eat tofu and that sort of thing on hand so she snacks on "good stuff." If she is very active, find a cliff bar type product thats high in protein around so she can throw it in her school/gym bag. If she is tired alot, she could need an iron supplement (take with vitamin C at a low calcium meal) or she might need SLEEP.

Get her to eat spinach and other green leafy veggies. The darker green the better. In addition to making sure she gets enough protein, make sure she gets enough iron too.

It is not just the vitamins, but also the proteins and calciums she is not getting. tell her to be vegetarian, but to eat dairy products and eggs at least.
