Sometimes (not often) I have the time, energy, and money to plan a super healthy day of eating and I want to make the best of it. What would you eat, include times, for a super healthy day? (For me healthy means nutrient dense, not just low calorie). I know it should have lots of veggies, fruit, lean protein, whole grains, and healthy fats, but how would you put that into a day menu?

This is my plan for tomorrow:

Breakfast 8am:
4oz chilled water followed by 8oz chilled water with lemon and mint
Smoothie-1/4 scoop Jay Rob Whey Protein Powder, 1/2 cup mixed berries (blue, black, ras), 1 scoop Amazing Grass Green Superfood powder (wheat grass, spiraling, alpha alpha and more), 1/2 banana (194 calories)

Snack: 11am apple and tangerine

Lunch:
Romaine lettuce
grape tomatoes
cucumber
walnuts
extra virgin olive oil
balsalmic vinegar
grilled chicken

Snack:
Dip: nonfat greek yogurt with garlic powder
raw broccoli

Dinner:
Ceviche: Baked sole, Salsa, lemon juice

After dinner snack: 1/2 papaya

Thoughts?
