Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Cut them into halves or quarters if they are large.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, plain unsweetened kefir, erythritol (or sweetener of choice), vanilla extract, and optional lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sweetener to suit your preference.
Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and tap the molds gently on the countertop to release any trapped air bubbles.
Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the popsicles are completely solid.
To remove the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them. Gently pull the popsicles out and enjoy!
