I know very little about supertasting, but looking at the likes/dislikes page, I'm noting that it doesn't say much about raw fruits or vegetables, so you may want to look into a raw foods book or two. Ecopolitan has a section, they're a restaurant on about 24th and Lyndale. Raw foods sound weird to people who aren't that familiar, but it's really very good for you.
Protein sources: nuts, nut butters, seeds, black beans, lentils, rice, quinoa, tofu, seitan (she can make her own here, it's not difficult, and it's easy to make variations on flavors), tempeh (I have no idea if the texture here would be weird, it tends to be a love it or hate it food).
I would also say try different kinds of mushrooms, and try grilling them or putting them in soup, but different kinds of mushrooms are nothing alike to me.
Miso and seaweed might be useful if she's okay with the taste.
Soup may also be a good way around the texture issue, since most soups will blend fine and then you just have liquid.
Cookbooks: I don't know how accessible these are for kids, but they're cookbooks I like and have found helpful. Vegan with a Vengeance by Isa Moskowitz Veganomicon, Moskowitz and Romero (this is a favorite cookbook of a lot of omnivores I know, and has good basic instructions for a lot of things) Joy of Vegan Baking, by the Compassionate Cooks author whose name I can't remember Moosewood, by Mollie Katzen I've heard very good things about Vegan Lunchbox and that it's partly geared towards things that are accessible to kids, making as well as eating, but I don't actually know The New Vegetarian Epicure, by Anna Thomas (one of my omnivore dad's favorites, very user-friendly) Complete Vegetarian Kitchen, by Lorna Sass (she's a little obsessed with pressure cookers but there are instructions for if, like me, you haven't got one) if she takes an interest in any particular ethnic cuisine that's also a good starting place. Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, by Deborah Madison (kind of a couch-levelling book but very complete in many ways)
I hope this is helpful, and I'm happy to talk about it more if you want.
