[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. B12. A must-have. Get the weekly sublingual ones. Needs saliva to work best. Nutritional yeast and miso  are used in many recipes and healthy. 
2. Try not to do vegan junk food, opt for whole proteins like tofu soybeans tempeh and look at forks over knives, happy herbivore, for good recipes. Del sroufe has good videos on cooking how to. 
3. Congrats to her for choosing healthy diet! 
Enjoy the adventure.

Thanks, we already use nutritional yeast and yeast a fair amount, and our plan is to try a few types of fortified plant milks to find something she likes.

Is that enough B12, or would you add some kind of supplement?[/quote]

I’d still definitely recommend b12:
“For adults under age 65, the easiest way to get B12 is to take at least one 2,000 mcg supplement each week or a daily dose of 50 mcg. Note that these doses are specific to cyanocobalamin, the preferred supplemental form of vitamin B12, as there is insufficient evidence to support the efficacy of the other forms, like methylcobalamin.”
