The only thing with this I would be wary of is the sodium content...but apart from that, it looks good for someone on phase 2 of SB.
Interested to see what other people say.

I think as long as you don't have more than 1 serving a day you should be fine. Just don't use this to substitude water, but you already said you drink your water. Just make sure you drink some extra water after it because of the quite high sodium. To much sodium for me is a cause for a stall. So be carefull with your intake.

Oh I also wanted to ask, is it coming in a bottle or something? Make sure you just drink the serving size. You know a lot of times they will put drinks in a 16oz bottle or so and on the bottle it actually states the whole bottle is 2 or more servings. So again, be carefull.
