The present disclosure relates to essentially dry compositions that are suitable for use as foods and/or beverages. Preferably, the essentially dry compositions are beverage compositions, wherein the compositions are diluted with a liquid prior to consumption. In a key benefit of the present invention, the compositions exhibit consistently good solubility despite the presence of relatively insoluble ingredients. In the various embodiments of the invention, the essentially dry compositions comprise a high intensity sweetener having properties which surprisingly provide enhanced solubility. Methods of providing sweetened, essentially dry compositions having enhanced solubility are also described.
