Slice each date lengthwise to create a pocket. Fill the dates evenly with the almond butter, then press the sides together to close.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and half the almond milk. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and microwave for 30 seconds more until completely melted. Let the mixture cool for 1 minute.
Whisk the salt and the protein powder into the melted chocolate one spoonful at a time. The mixture will be thick. Whisk in the remaining almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time until the coating is smooth and drips slowly off the whisk.
Line a plate with parchment paper. Dip the stuffed dates into the chocolate coating one at a time, turning to cover them completely. Place on the plate and freeze for 5 minutes until the coating is firm.
