have a great day
Ha det så bra!


Explanation:
Most people definitely use "ha det så bra", even if it's not as stongly encouraging as the English phrase. The Swenglish expression "Ha en bra dag!" has become more common lately, especially in written language, and is also OK. Sounds a bit translated, though.
