Most children with eating issues ... some hate certain textures, etc...will drink smoothies!
You can make these with whey protein that has added glutamine in them, and add vitamins, flax oil, etc along with the fruit and they will go down without fuss.
Bananas, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, mango, etc all go into smoothies easily. Even vanilla yogurt! (with the active organisms in it). She won't taste any of the things separately, which she might balk at. Many kids get into the process of making the smoothie too, as it can be fun.
Many children's vits now have choline added to them. So choose one with that on the label. Flintstone's Complete has choline now added to it.
Restless legs can be due to low magnesium levels. Magnesium is found in whole foods that kids often refuse. You can circumvent this with a magnesium cream. Kirkman makes one that autisim parents rub on the back of the child before bedtime.
My magnesium thread has that link and also a new recipe a member here makes their own-- The Kirkman one is designed to give 100mg/gram, and for a small child I'd recommend that, so you do not accidently give too much.
This is my magnesium thread:

The RDA for a small child-- is 80mg a day. (elemental)
This is the Kirkman link:

Without magnesium in the diet, a person cannot metabolize fats into brain cell membranes, or make neurotransmitters.
Small children with sensory issues can quickly become deficient in just about every thing, because they refuse many foods.
This is PediaSure which is also a good idea to try:

If her feet itch, and she is "twitchy", you may have to examine Celiac or gluten intolerance for her. Many people have this, and in small children it can manifest in bizarre ways, and typically leads to malabsorption of nutrients as well:
