Disclosed are starch-based powdered clouding agents for dry beverage mixes and beverage mixes including such powdered clouding agents. The starch-based powdered clouding agent may consist essentially of retrograded maltodextrin and is substantially free of titanium dioxide.

The powdered clouding agents may be added to water to form a cloudy solution or to a dry beverage mix that may form a beverage having an opacity substantially the same as a comparable natural beverage when reconstituted with water.
