Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, remove the green stems, and slice them in halves or quarters depending on their size.
Place the sliced strawberries into a blender.
Add the fresh lemon juice, water, vanilla extract, and your preferred sugar-free sweetener to the blender with the strawberries.
Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and uniform puree.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more sweetener, one teaspoon at a time.
Pour the strawberry mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
Place the popsicle sticks into the molds.
Transfer the molds to the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the popsicles are fully set.
To remove the popsicles from their molds, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds and gently pull the sticks until they release.
Serve immediately or store them in a freezer bag for later enjoyment.
