I eat 2/3 Nonfat Yogurt with blueberries and 1/3 scoop Protein powder. I don't feel as energized as I should....

Carbohydrates and protein is what you need before a work out plain bagels, Power bars, trail mix, nuts stuff like that. It looks like your pre- workout snack doesn't have any carbs and those are essential when you workout.

My advice is that you should have anything that is low gi. that would include muesli, apples and low gi bread.
I have found this energizer smoothie that is supposed to be excellent before a worrk out on a website but so far have been too lazy to actually make it.
Energizer Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cup orange segments
1/2 cup grapefruit segments
1/2 cup orange sherbet
1/2 cup strong-brewed Earl Grey tea (2 bags per cup)
ice cubes
Preparation:Combine ingredients in blender. good luck and hope you get down to making it.
or apparently this is great for athletesDave's Super-Smoothie:
1 11-ounce container Power Dream (any flavor)
1/2 teaspoon Peanut Butter or another "nut butter"
4 ice cubes
2 fruits (e.g., one banana plus a handful of raspberries)
2 carrots (yes -- try it!)
1 teaspoon of whey protein isolate powder (optional)
Put all ingredients in blender and process for 30 seconds.
This recipe can be cut in half. Total calories: 650-800 (approximately). Carbohydrate grams: 100-125. Protein grams: 30 (with whey protein and Peanut Butter). Fat: 10 grams (with Power Dream and Peanut Butter)

I eat a Power Bar or some type of energy/protein bar. Lately, I've been into the Balance Bars in Trail Mix flavor. I'd burn through that yogurt and berries in 15 minutes without a big dose of protein.

Either a smoothie or what I like to have about 30 to 45 minutes before working out is a bagel.

2 or 3 bananas fast energy release food. porridge oats is another good energy release food but its not fast its gradual & constant.
Or you can chop up a banana or 2 & add to you porridge
