Minute Brand makes tapioca.  Not pudding, just the plain precooked tapioca with soy lecithin added.   On the back of the box is a recipe for tapioca cream.  I'm sure if you substitute Splenda for the sugar (Splenda makes a product that is specifically a one-to-one substitute for sugar) and use fat free milk you will come up with a good pudding.  One egg is called for, but perhaps even here you could shave a bit of fat and calories by using one of the new egg substitutes that have both whites and yolks (you might need both for the pudding to set up).  Sometimes substitutes make a difference in the chemistry of a food, so you might have to experiment a bit.  Good luck and let me know how it comes out.  Until you mentioned it, I had forgotten how much I like tapioca pudding.  You might have inspired me to make it again myself!

I haven't made tapioca pudding in years, the kids loved it when they were younger.  The package recipe is the only one I have ever used.  You do use the egg white seperately, beat it firmly and blend it in with the pudding mixture.  It is very good, and could be tweaked with Splenda and skim or lowfat milk.  Yumm.....

There are some pre-made tapioca puddings in the dairy section of the market.  Kozy Shack makes one and I've tasted it  and it is good.
