1. Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry. Remove the stems and cut each strawberry into halves or quarters for easier blending.
2. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, and water. Blend until the mixture becomes a smooth purée.
3. Add the ice cubes to the blender with the strawberry purée. Pulse until the ice is broken down and resembles a fine, snowy texture. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure even consistency.
4. Taste the mixture and adjust if needed. If the strawberries are too tart, allow the natural sweetness to suffice to maintain Whole30 compliance.
5. Spoon the strawberry shaved ice into serving bowls or glasses. Press down gently with a spoon to pack the ice and shape it neatly.
6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately before the ice begins to melt.
