Have you always been scared to make your own popsicles at home? Looking for frozen treats that aren't too hard? This is the perfect recipe!
With only a handful of low sugar ingredients, you will be thrilled once you make this recipe.
When shopping for sugar-free frozen treats in the store, they almost always contain artificial ingredients. Fruit pops at home are the way to go because you have direct control of the ingredients you add.
You will use sweetener in this recipe, but it is completely refined-sugar free.
Ingredients For the Recipe
- Fresh squeezed lemon juice
- Fresh or frozen strawberries
- Water
- Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener
- Popsicle Mold
- Lemon Squeezer
- Blender
How to Make Homemade Sugar-Free Popsicles
- Squeeze the juice from the lemons into a blender.
- Add in the strawberries, water, and powdered organic monkfruit sweetener. Blend.
- Pour the blended mix into the popsicle molds.
- Freeze for 4 hours.
What Sweetener to Use
I recommend powdered organic monkfruit sweetener. It has zero calories and carbs. If you use granular sweetener you will notice a grainy difference in texture.
How Many Calories and Carbs?
Each popsicle has 17 calories and 3 net carbs.
Substitution Tips and Flavor Ideas
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- BlackBerries
- Fresh Squeezed Oranges
How to Store
Store the popsicles in the freezer. This Popsicle Mold from Amazon is great to use to store them in when they are finished, too. You can also remove them from the mold (once frozen) and move them to sealable bags.
How Long Will the Popsicles Last?
Popsicles usually last 6-8 months in the freezer.

Notes
- ½ cup of sweetener will result in popsicles that taste similar to strawberry lemonade. The flavor is mild and you can still taste the lemon. For sweeter popsicles add additional sweetener, perhaps ¾ a cup.
- Depending on what mold you use, you may have enough blended mix for up to 12 popsicles, which would lower the macros!
- If you use granular sweetener you will notice a grainy difference in texture. Powdered is recommended.

My daughter and I made these popsicles about two weeks ago. It was so simple and easy to make. We absolutely loved the taste. We had some of the juice remaining and we poured it over ice and drank it. So tasty!!
We are making them again because my daughter wants these to be part of my Mother’s Day gift. Thanks for such a fun and simple recipe and bonding experience.
staysnatched says
I did the same thing....drank the leftover juice!
Joanna says
These were so delicious! Thank you so much for the step by step, it was easy to follow. So worth it! Will be making these for my boys all Summer!
staysnatched says
Yay! I'm so glad they turned out well!
Barbara says
Made these popsicles with my sons, we added blueberries, and it was an absolute hit! I love that I know exactly what my kids are digesting (no preservatives or unnecessary added sugars).
It’s getting warmer in the DMV and it feels good to have an easy and healthy recipe that I can make for/with my kids.
Autumn says
These were just delicious! So easy to make with 4 ingredients and a big hit with all my 5 boys. I loved how simple and healthy the ingredients were. I will definitely have these on repeat this summer!! ❤️??
staysnatched says
Wonderful! I'm so glad the boys enjoyed them!
Ashley says
I’ve been looking for a low carb popsicle recipe and this. is. it. I had to add some other frozen fruits because I didn’t have enough strawberries, still so good! It’s really well balanced with the sweetener (my first time trying monk fruit sweetener) and I look forward to the warm days ahead enjoying these guilt free!
staysnatched says
The perfect treat for summer!
Diane K Stone says
I started making these a couple weeks ago and have made several batches so far. The second batch was made with both lemon and grapefruit juice (not enough lemons). They are a very tasty and very welcome change from sugar-free jello. Found a recipe for Keto Lime Popsicles and those turned out great as well. Have reduced the sweetener to 1/3 cup plus a tablespoon. Still very sweet. I made a batch early this week and didn't have the full pound of strawberries. Added one nectarine (peeled) and it's very good. I know the calorie and carb counts will change for this one, but may still be acceptable for most. Great recipe!
staysnatched says
Yay! It's so versatile.
Monica Danielle says
I made these popsicles today with my 5 and 3 year old sons. We had a ball! They were so excited! Recipe is so easy to make with just 4 ingredients. Love that these were not too tart or too sweet. Just right! Like others said, we enjoyed the leftovers as a nice mid-day snack! This is a must-try recipe!
staysnatched says
Yay! I'm so glad you guys enjoyed these.

Julia Howell Barros says
As always, brandi's instructions are thoughtful, thorough and helpful. So when I realized I had granulated (not powdered) monkfruit sugar, I tried dissolving the sugar in the (heated) water and added lemon zest. They were absolutely delicious, refreshing and perfect for the hot and humid weather we are having in DC now. Thank you for yet another great recipe!
staysnatched says
Yay! I'm glad that worked out for you.
Samantha says
Made these because who doesn’t love a good strawberry and lemon mix? And they were delicious!! A great low calorie, healthy alternative to the sugar loaded pops found at the store. Definitely going to be making these all summer long!
staysnatched says
Yay! I love to hear that.
Adriana says
these are delicious! perfect summer Friday afternoon treat. I was going to make popsicles but i knew Brandi had a recipe and I knew i had to check it out! if i didn't check it out, i would have never put lemon juice in them and the definitely gave the popsicle a different, very tasty note. i also spiked them with some berry citrus vodka!! thanks Brandi! gonna try the fudge ones once we get through this batch!
staysnatched says
Yay! I'm happy you enjoyed them.
Kara C says
These popsicles are awesome!!!! The lemons I had didn’t quite get me to 1/4 cup, so I had closer to 1/3 cup of the lemon juice, but it is still delicious. I am very excited to finish the popsicles I have and try another batch with other flavors. Thank you so much for designing this recipe!!!
staysnatched says
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Lauren says
These are a hit and will for sure be made all summer long!

This recipe is extremely easy to follow. I made it with my toddler as an activity. My favorite part was how versatile it is. I used a pack of mixed berries I had t as king up space in the freezer. I loved my toddler loved it. Just make it!
