OUR STORY
A Vision of Health and Sustainability
At OnlyKale, we believe that the journey to better health and a sustainable planet starts with small, simple choices. What began as a quest for a nutrient-packed, easy-to-use solution has blossomed into a mission-driven company that not only nourishes the body but also supports the environment. Our Co-founder, Charlie Szoradi, a lifelong advocate for sustainability, wellness, and innovative solutions, leads this vision with a passion to create lasting change for individuals and the planet.
A Visionary Founder
Charlie Szoradi is not your typical entrepreneur. As an author, sustainability expert, and innovator, Charlie has spent decades exploring the intricate connections between how we live, what we eat, and how we impact the world around us. His book, Learn from Looking, offers a blueprint for creating healthier, more sustainable environments, while his thought leadership spans across architecture, design, and food systems. Driven by a passion for creating better-for-you products that contribute to a healthier planet, Charlie Co-founded OnlyKale with the goal of simplifying one of the most powerful superfoods on Earth—kale!
A Team of Dreamers and Movers
Recognizing the power of collaboration, Charlie has assembled a dynamic team of entrepreneurs, health-conscious individuals, dreamers, and movers and shakers, all united by a shared goal of transforming wellness. This diverse group brings together expertise from different industries—food, fitness, sustainability, and business—creating a powerhouse of innovation and ambition. Together, they are working to change how people think about healthy living and environmental stewardship.
The OnlyKale team is driven by a common belief: that small, everyday choices can build a healthier future. They combine creativity with a relentless pursuit of progress, always looking for new ways to inspire people to take control of their health, while also making choices that are better for the planet.

The idea for OnlyKale sprouted when Charlie noticed a gap in the market for quick, convenient access to one of the most nutritious leafy greens: kale. Realizing that many people struggle to incorporate enough healthy vegetables into their diet, Charlie envisioned a solution that could make kale as accessible and easy to use as a cup of coffee or a protein shake. The result is a line of kale powder products that fit seamlessly into busy, active lifestyles.
OnlyKale Sticks are perfect for on-the-go consumption, offering a simple way to boost smoothies, soups, or snacks with a daily dose of nutrient-dense greens. Each packet contains pure kale powder, packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering all the benefits of fresh kale without the hassle of washing, chopping, or blending. It’s a fast, delicious way to stay on track with your health goals.
A Commitment to People and the Planet
Beyond our commitment to personal health, OnlyKale is deeply rooted in the principle of sustainability. Kale is not just a superfood for people—it’s also an environmentally friendly crop. As a hearty plant that requires less water and fewer resources to grow than other crops, kale aligns perfectly with our mission of supporting a sustainable food system.
Charlie and the OnlyKale team have made it their mission to promote a healthy lifestyle that’s equally beneficial to the planet.
Vision into a Movement
Our vision at OnlyKale goes beyond selling kale powder. We are creating a movement—a community of health-conscious individuals who care not only about what they put into their bodies but also about how their choices affect the world around them. Through our social media campaigns, educational content, and affiliate partnerships with health and fitness influencers, we are on a mission to make kale the hero of both personal and planetary wellness.
As Charlie says, “Healthy people build healthy communities, and healthy communities protect our planet.” With the collective power of his team of visionary entrepreneurs, health advocates, and dreamers, OnlyKale is more than a brand—it’s a call to action. We invite you to join us on this journey, one stick at a time, as we turn kale into a symbol of positive change for ourselves and our planet.
