Slice the date lengthwise to create a pocket. Fill the date with the almond butter, then press the sides together to close.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and one-third of 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. The mixture will be very thick. Whisk in the remaining almond milk until the frosting is smooth and coats the back of a spoon. If it is still too stiff to spread, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until reaching a thick, spreadable consistency.
Line a plate with parchment paper. Dip the stuffed date into the chocolate frosting, turning to cover it completely. Place on the plate and spoon any remaining frosting over the date. Freeze for 5 minutes until the coating is firm.
